My TR ends seemed ok when I looked them over, but I may replace them anyway.

Don, I hope the alignment does help a lot. I can still wiggle the wheel back and forth and there is not a ton of response. Granted, I am not wiggling the wheel back and forth a lot when I do it. Maybe it just needs the alignment, or maybe it could use some TR ends :?

Damn guy... lol
The Tie rod ends are easy to replace... But you will want to mark the position of the old tie rod before removal... That way it will be as close as possible...
Is the car pulling bad? wearing the tires wrong? Are the tires in good shape as in lots of life left?
Maybe go a week without the alignment, replace the tie rod ends and then align?

Don...his biggest problem is the tires came from Morty and he supposedly picked them up from another member. Pete probably hasn't put enough mileage on to know how they are actually wearing.
There was so much dirt on them before that if they had been semi balanced..all the dirt was probably factored in.
