Alignment
Long story short, I was stuck in the yard in mud...paid my neighbor $30 to pull me out and it bent the tie rod pretty bad...$128 later that was fixed forgot to do a quick alignment and two month old tires are toast.
It's been literally like 7+years since I did this. Which way do the tie rods need to be turned foe toe in/toe out As always advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Re: Alignment
Cannot post photos but the driver front tire is slick underneath the car, and thread on the outside. Steering wheel is cocked to the driver wheel to drive straight

Re: Alignment
What do you have for steering on that? I see a box, but I also see what appears to be a tie rod end for rack and pinion. Also looks like camber is way off. Take it to an alignment shop and have it all checked out. What year is this?

Re: Alignment
The outer Tie Rod on the one side def looks bent.
Clean & put reference marks on the damaged tie rod where it threads into the rest of the linkage (measuring the exposed threads on the damaged part is usually easy enough; a piece of masking tape around the exposed threads works quick & dirty as well). Remove the damaged part. Install new part & thread it in as close to the dimension pulled off the one removed. Reassemble. For temporary alignment, put the steering wheel straight (which should put your non-damaged side pointing straight). Once that's done turn the turnbuckle in or out as needed to get the repaired side in a similar position as the non-damaged side. Go get fresh tire/s & an alignment.
