If wear pattern has just really ocurred since you changed the tie rod ends?
Then of course the toe in could be too great. Bad alignment can make a car difficult to drive. But in general the other tire should be showing some of the same symptoms if toe is the problem. Car may also not need a front end rebuild but may have a part or two that needs changed out or perhaps nothing. We have a good deal locally. If car is taken to an alignment shop no alignment is done until worn parts are changed. We take car home and change them ourselves. If needs are too great for example work is not done. Or is put off till time and funds allow it. No bill is presented up to this point. Then when work if any is done car goes back to the alignment shop. It is always wise to have the front end components checked for wear from time to time anyways. The results of not doing it can be pretty bad. A little slack in a steering box is nothing to get concerned about for example. On the otherhand a really bad ball joint can get serious at some point.
