I just changed my tie rod ball joints and the lock nuts didnt move. So
no change in original length. Now both tires are way out of wack.
Could this be because I had spun the tie rods themselves? Any help
greatly appreciated.

Where did you buy the tie rod ends? Did you compare the lengths with the old
ones? If you didn't move the lock nut, the alignment should be REAL close
to the same using good parts. On a car with a rack spinning the inner tie
rodes doesn't change anything, all the adjustment is in the outer tie ro0d
threads. My guess is you used 'discount' parts (cheap) and/or they sold you
the wrong ones.
