Default tie rod install question/concern

well yestarday i replaced both outter tie rods. they had the original ones on it from 1991...which were shot to ****.

on the driver side i counted 18 turns on removal and 18 turns for install...for the passenger side i only counted 16 on removal and 16 on install...now my steering wheel is a smidgin to the the right when im going straight...will an alignment fix this? or do i need to run the tie rod less/more on which side... any help would be appreciated...

those tie rods are they the parts that mount from the front subframe to the front lower control arms?

yeah, you need an alignment, dont try to set the toe yourself....you'll end up messing it up even more
