IMHO do both, it would save you time and the hassle of replacing one then the other in a few months......

At a minimum do both. I had bad uppers, but replaced everything, including the tie rods. It is a pain in the ***, and I only wanted to do it once. It's not really "difficult" if you are mechanically inclined at all, but a pain.

Having all the right tools really helps too.
