Outer Tie Rod 850

I used to have a 95 850 and used this site all the time to help out with my DIY repairs. I've since been driving a Saab 9-3, but definitely miss the brick. My neighbor in his infinite wisdom asked me to help him with replacing his outer tie rod. Unfortunately, he removed it without measuring the distance from the end to the start of the inner tie rod. So my question is 2 fold:

1. Can I eye ball it? (really don't like this one btw)
2. Can someone tell me what this distance should be, I'm assuming most should be relatively close.

He has an early 94 before the headlight change with a manual transmission. Also, he bought after market. He has about 180k on the originals and they still have some meat on them. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
