What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, uneven or excessive tire wear, and clunking or play in the steering. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.
Do I need to get a wheel alignment after installing it?
Replacing a tie rod end changes the toe setting, so a wheel alignment is recommended after installation for proper steering and even tire wear.
