I changed my tie rod end the ball joint part now pulls to the right?

i changed the driver side tie rod end and now it pulls that way to fix the problem do i need to screw it on more or back it off some plz help me|||you need a toe end|||you already saved yourself a lot of money fixing your front end parts so now take it to an alignment shop and have it aligned as you need special gauges to get it right to where it doesn%26#039;t wear your tires out.|||when ever you replace front end parts, you need to take it to get the front end aligned again, so make sure all the other parts are in good condition, so you only get the alignment done once, this will ruin your tires, if you drive a lot, so get the alignment fixed properly good luck|||when u took of the tie rod u should have noticed the number off spins....u probably changed the toe(angle of one tire)....heres an easy way if u do not want to spend money on alignment


park the car get the wheel that is untouched perfectly straight....and look at the wheel(on side u changed tie rod) it wont be straight


now get under the car and screw or unscrew the nut on tie rod to make the tire straight


THIS IS NOT A PERFECT FIX....BUT IF U WANT TO SKIP THE ALIGNMENT FOR LIL WHILE THAT IS AN EASY WAY|||Have it aligned ,if ya dont you will want new tyres in no time|||you need to have it aligned up. you got the toe end off.|||You need an alingment shop to do that part now.|||did you count the rounds when you unscrewed the old 1? if not,then find a measure point accessible from the front and rear of the tire in the same position.set it roughly 1/16 of an inch toe in(pidgeon toed).thatll get you by till you can see a pro.
