Default Inner Tie Rod replacement

Is there any trick to keep me from getting a alignment right away?

Im getting new shocks and struts(KYB GR-2) on wednesday so I dont want to pay for 2 alignments.

pretty simple just count the number of turns it takes to take the outer tie rod end off and put the outer back on the new inner the same amount of turns it took to get it off and you will be golden or atleast damn colse enough till you get your alighment int he next few days
