Reason being......I ended up needing inner and outer tie rod ends......and had them done at the same time.
Tie rod end replacement calls for a front end alignment when done.
Yes, good news indeed! Grease fittings will go on everything I replace now. What do you grease with when you have Zerk fittings? This thing needs an alignment anyway, so it's a wash.
