Hi
I have a 2005 Ford Focus and hit a curb by accident.
So I took it to A local shop and they said that I should get the tires balanced and the tires rotated. So I did that and they said that the front inner Tie Rod is slighty bent some and would be able to fix with alignment. So I brought it back for alignment right away. When I picked the car up the said the tie rod is still kinda bent but not bad and if I notice the car pulling at all then I should replace the tie rod. My car seems fine but I am worried about something going wrong. ***The 1st shop I took it to told me about the tie rod. When i went to the 2nd shop they did not say anything about it so I told them what the other shop said about the tie rod so he had the mechanic go look at it. He came back in and said oh it's so slighty bent that he did not even notice till you said something and he can fix with the alignment. I am really lost when it comes to this car stuff!! Any suggestions would be nice at this point, I am just not sure what to do. Should I replace my tie rod when car seems fine or not. It's like $200.00 to get it fixed and that is alot of money for me to shell out. Thanks for your thoughts, suggestions, etc.
