Not enough thread left on Tie rods.

I recently got Tein inner and outer tie rods with the spacer from frsport. I put those on and changed the rack also. I went get an alignment and the steering wheel was straight, the passenger side was set to 0, but the driver side was turning in. My wheels are like this currently / | with no thread left on the driver side inner tie rod to bring the wheel aligned.
I've asked a few people with the same set up, and searched around but I can't find anything on this. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix this?

Tein Inners should come with their own spacer. Make sure you didn't double stack. I would just get Ikeya Formula inners. Everyone I know has bent a Tein inner before.

If tein inners come in different lengths due to s13 and s14 having different lca lengths that could be your problem.

Are you using a thread on single side spacer, both side spacer or just basic slip on rack shims?

S13 and S14 tie rods are the same length, s14 is thicker.

Do you have knuckles?

The rack must not be centered.

Post your question in the roll center, steering angle modification thread. You're probably gonna need new tie rods if you have knuckles.
