It goes crooked on the first turn, everytime time. You likely need to 'chase' the threads. Once cross-threaded it will tend to follow that thread each time you try to assemble it (and get worse each time, too). Best would be to get a re-threading tap/die - less chance of cutting new (incorrect) threads. This is assuming the new part has the correct threads. Will the old tie rod thread back on OK?
