So I was at the Shop for RE-ALIGHMENT under warranty for 12K miles.....blah blah......and they said I needed new TIE ROD ENDS (Inner and Outer) before doing the Align. gave me an estimate of about $400+Tax to do the work including the Align. and parts.......I went to a different Mechanic and they said I only needed the Outer Tie rod ends........so Should I just replace the outer Tie rod ends or BOTH at the same time ??????
By the way I got the outer tie rods on E-bay for 1/3 of the price that the first shop Offered. Am I being lowballed by them or....? How long would the install be an hour, 2 hrs ??????

Thanx for all the inputs........
