Hi again Earl,

I also just replaced both Tie Rods on my car. I purchased new assemblies, one for the right side and one for the left. I removed one side at a time, laid the old one down, adjusted the new one to the same length, and installed it.
The steering wheel is straight and no pulling, but I am buying new tires soon so I'll have it re-aligned at that time.

I prefer buying new assemblies, not just the ends. Be sure to check your steering damper too.

Dave
