I recently took my vehicle to get the front end alignment. Guy at the alignment shop told me that I could not get the alignment done due to an inner tie rod being bad. He then showed me that the driver side front wheel had a little play in it. So I decided to go ahead and buy both tie rod end...

When my vehicle sits at an idle, around 800 or so RPMs, the vehicle tends to vibrate a little bit. I notice the vibration in the steering wheel and when I look up at the hood I see it vibrating as well. When I am driving down the road it doesn't vibrate, only tends to do this when I am at a stop...
