must do inner tie rod, should I just do outers too?

[VanIsleDSM]

My car has 98,000km, or ~60,000 original miles.

one of my inner tie rod ends is totally fooked.. so I'm going to replace them.. not cheap! I just called, $80 each...

Anyway.. I'm just wondering.. if I should do the outers at the same time? due for it soon maybe? ..since I have to get an alignment afterwards... I might as well take care of it all.

What you guys think?

I say do it if you have the money. Thats just me though i like to do certain things all at the same time just for a good piece of mind. just my .02 though

Might as well do it all while you're in there.

Check ebay for some better pricing on tie rods:

Have you checked your wheels for play? Side to side, up and down. I would start by doing that. I wouldnt replace them if there not broke or getting worn out.

If you have the money, definitely replace all of them. There won't be any doubt about what is good and what isn't when everything is new, plus if they're bad and you don't replace them, then you must take it all back apart and do it, anyway. Handle this with just ONE trip to the alignment shop.
