im gonna try to get it aligned this weekend maybe and go from there im also going to purchase all 4 tie rod ends mostlikely pay day if the car will make it til then.it all of the sudden started doing this i dont remember hitting a pot hole but its a good possibility around here,i may of hit one and knocked it out of alignment...how would i go about checking a tie rod end to see if its bad?

Check the radius arm bushings- those get overlooked a lot. They're in the front crossmember in a sandwich around your radius arm mount.

tires

I know this doesn't make sense, but rotate the tires before you go much farther done the road swapping stuff. I didn't believe it either until my tire guy told me same thing. Did the rotation, problem solved.

And yes the tires were properly inflated, the alignment was correct, and all seemed right, except it pulled very hard.

Also don't let go of the steering wheel while driving on the freeway crazy.

you also might have a defective tire, maybe a shifted/broken steel belt in the tire, its not uncommon, I see it a lot. I say def try the rotation, if that fixes it, go back to where you got the tires and get the bad one replaced.
