Re: Oil change, new fuel filter, and new idler arm and tie rods - but the Pitman was OK!
Yes the pre-sale check should have caught the bad tie rod ends.
And with worn tie rod ends also check all ball joints and control arm bushings.
Was it pulling left or right before the alignment or tie rod replacement?
Firts thing the alignment shop should do is center the steerring wheel.
That can be done with the tie rod adjustment.
Also it should be put on a capable 4 wheel alignment machine.
A rear axel not tracking or set right or a slipped rear spring bolt can give you a pull left or right.
Is the left or right side front brakes running hot or draging?
Let us know how it goes.
