    05 gp base, I believe my from drivers side outer tie rod is bad, going to check it tomorrow to make sure that's the issue, the part is around $20

    my question is if its bad and I replace it, should I replace the passenger side as well, since i will need to take it to get an alignment anyway

    Thoughts??

    I think its a good idea to, for that reason. Unless the other one is newer and still in very good condition.

    Good idea to knock the other side out as well especially since tie rods are rather cheap

    Both my tierods checked out fine, but I did find out my new tires I have bought were not balanced correctly, and that was what was causing the vibrations.

    Took the car back to the tire place, they rebalanced the tires and the car rides real nice now.
