Well, this is a huge difference in how it feels while driving on the highway...I guess I was already used to driving around with bad tie rods....(the "shimmy" is also gone, and I thought the problem was the balancing of the tires)

I changed inner and outer...

If anyone in the Raleigh area needs to borrow the tools, just let me know.....I bought the inner tie rod removal tool as well as the ball joint/tie rod puller...

The car is an "almost daily" highway driver, hence I did not want anything aggressive, hopefully the rear tires will last a little longer (that was another issue I wanted to solve)
