Default quick question about alignment and tierods

Ok, so my inner driver side inner tierod is slightly bent. can a shop align my car correctly with it being slightly bent? or would i need to change it out first? and how hard is it to change the inner tierod?

thanks for all the help.

It will need to be replaced, these type of suspension components are not really repairable(easily).

Replace it, then get it aligned.

The fact you can easily tell it is bend plus the low cost of the part probably means that you should change it. I wouldn't claim that this is going to mess up your alignment though.
