To check the tie rod ends grab ahold of them and try to rotate and wiggle them, if you can with ease then they are toast, especially if the boot is already cracked. If you have a lot of miles the balljoints need to be replaced anyway. You should be able to feel for play. They are really tight if knew.

Correct, and an alignment would be needed. I would also pick up a set of tie rod ends. Moog= way better than stock IMO. Im sure others would agree

So, two upper and two lower ball joints and two outer and two inner tie rod ends? lol. Ahhh. I can really only afford the cheap, MasterPro Chassis ones or whatever.
