I went to have the alignment because the rears are worn out on the inner side to the strings (315s for 20k mi) and I am going to put new tires. The front tires look very good. Couldn't they just verify the front wheels alignment even with the tie rod seized? thanks in advance
I did mine own tie rod for I think 80 bucks. It's a 30 minute job at the most. Look at Bavauto, Pelican Parts or ECS Tuning. It's two bolts that holds it together. Or pay $312.00
