Interesting question, but it is not the correct one if you are looking for the correct method to adjust toe-in/toe-out. Depending on the actual toe-in/toe-out on the car, you need to rotate the tie rod until you achieve the correct toe-in measurement. I start with aligning the tires dead straight (by measurement), then adjust the tie rod until I get 1/16 - 18 inch. The number of turns needed is not material.
