I've run into this with bone stock parts, I just cut the ends, and deburr them, set the toe, and send it down the road.

There's no worries about doing the repair, or liability to worry about. It used to be there was a standard, and you wouldn't run into parts that were made sloppily, but there are no standards any longer among manufacturers.

Once in awhile you'll run into a damaged car that wasn't properly repaired from a wreck, and the frame horn will be swayed to one side, this will show up with one set of tie rods too long, and the other side with a wide gap between the ends of the tie rods. You might look at the gaps on both sets to see if the steering box, or idler arm isn't in the correct position due to collision damage.
