Tie Rod?
I was driving my car slowly out of my hood and my drivers wheel started pulling. I can not see anything wrong behind the wheel but, truly I cant see behind the wheel very well. The wheel does not turn left or right when the other does. My question is. Does this sound like a tie rod and are there any ideas on cost.

FYI - just had my tie-rods replaced, right side was worn out and failed NC inspection. It's expensive, parts are $142 (Dealer) each but you can get them from Gene Culley, a vendor on this forum for around $108. You'll also have to have a wheel alignment. Due to the timing, I had to have the stealership do it
