I noticed my steering wheel needing to be turned slightly for me to go striaght. i am pulling alittle to my left. with my passenger wheel pointed straight ahead my drivers wheel is slightly tilted outward.. I lifted the car up and noticed both ends of my tie rod are shot. I was wondering if there was a way i could use the tie rod to adjust my alignment? for awhile now i have heard a rubbing sound when slowly turning left or right. i don't hear it when im moving over 10 miles an hour. could it be from these worn out ends?

Replace shot tie-rod ends and then you should be able to adjust it properly. You can only get so close with a tape measure though so in the interest of longevity of your tires, get a professional alignment.

that was how i was gonna attempt the allignment. i was gonna adjust the tie rod until my measurments on my tires were the same. In the front and the back of the tires. i never attempted this before and was wondering if anyone had any advise. To make this job alittle easier

as he said you can only get so close your best bet is to bungie cord a level on both tires so it sticks out and just measure off that if you dont have 2 levels use anything straight but this willl only get you close you still need a profesional alignment 4 your tires sake
