First off - it's a "tie" rod. Second, you can get pretty close by trying to duplicate the current installation, but not perfect. If you have good tires and care about the handling, get an alignment after replacing it.

Also - you should really replace both, not just one.

Or..., just count the number turns when removing it and screw the new one in the same number of turns:) ... You will still need alignment!!!
