Default RE: tie rod ends

2 or 4 wheel drive? check the front end by shaking it off the ground side to side see if anything moves (a knowlegable buddy is useful for this) then check the ball joints by prying up and down on them with no load on them (its kinda hard to explain but if you know what your doing its not) anything loose needs replaced some parts can be expansive but nothing a do it yourselfer can't do, they may be a bit rusty and hard to get off thought< also you will need a alignment afterwards and there usually 60$
