Which pic? The tie rod is bent near the end on the side the tire looks toed in.replacing tie rod this weekend.I wiggled the wheels with two people seeing if there was any play and they didnt move so thats a plus.I also drove it last night and other then the tie rod it seems fine.hard to judge from a pic.but im staying positive and hoping its just the tie rod.I am going to replace the steering stabilizer and other stuff that is needed.but for me to at least drive it I am replacing the tie rod since this is my only vehicle.and Ill be having an alignment done.my brothers friend owns a tire shop.

Guys, let Mikey take it to an alignment shop and then report back.
I'm of the camp that says "Wish in one hand, and crap in the other, and see which one fills up first".

So what do you do about that. I also wasnt sitting on a flat service.but I guess we will see what they say when I take it to get looked at. All I can do for now is replace the tie rod and take it in for the rest.

Why do you guys keep going on and on?
Mikey is wishing for the best. He isn't believing a thing you post about the axle/alignment/steering anyway.
Just wait and let the "professionals" give him the true story.

What Mikey could do, is have XJwonders come over and look at his predicament and verify what's wrong. Save the money he'd have to spend at the alignment shop, and while XJwonders is there, Mikey could settle up his debt with him. Win-Win.

Im putting a new tie rod on 95 v8 zj upgrade moog brand.not sure what the difference is between moog and napa.napa seems to be cheaper. and taking it to get looked at regardless what they say I will be driving it.not wheeling because I am replacing the front axle anyways and new tires.so I honestly dont care at this point.and I am just gonna stay positive and go from there.I already had one guy that has done millions of alignments come look at it.one thing I do know is axle is not bent. and did I also mention those pics are nowhere near on a leveled service
