sounds like you have an issue with your control arms.

no, that does not sound right....if you can work a wrench, you can replace the tie rod ends yourself for 70 bucks, or 100 bucks if you want to get the upgraded heavy duty tie rod ends. i just replaced my driver side tie rod end two days ago, it took me about 30 minutes total...here's a link....i got my tie rod end from www.purems.com .... www.ecstuning.com sells the heavy duty ones, i recommend getting those instead of OE.
