Vehicle in question: 89~93 240sx

I have been looking on and off the past month about information about the Tein Outer Tie Rods.

-A number of sites that sell the Outer Tie Rods separately from the Inner Tie Rods state that the Outer Tie Rods are designed for "slight" correction for bumpsteer.
-In the threads I've read on numerous 240 forums, owners have stated that the Tein Outer Tie Rods are essentially the same as OEM except they are advertised as stronger than the OEM Piece.

So in a nutshell, are Tein Outer Tie Rods dimensionally similar to the OEM piece or are do they actually correct, "slightly", for bumpsteer as advertised?

ive seen them and they look identical to the OEM ones...

bump steer kits are long (approx 3-4 inches) to make up for reduced vehicle ride height...thus leveling out the inner tie rod

If you're talking about these:

No, they don't have bumpsteer correction at all. I was happy to get rid of my Teins and upgrade.
