    On contrary if the shop screws up the alignment it will hurt more than help. The issue is not the cost but finding a shop that will do it right.

    I drove my truck first time since the LBJ job today and I can't tell the difference. I will watch my tires but with the amount of I'm driving now it might take a while. After my move to Poland Tacoma is not my DD anymore (working from home I don't commute). It's more like "shopping cart" - short trips to stores around the town. For longer trips I use 4Runner - much more room and more comfortable while still plenty of fun.

    You might want to reconsider replacing the inner tie rods unless there is actual slop in the joint socket. The fact that it's just moving very freely doesn't mean the joint is bad. Those OEM inner tie rods are VERY expensive even with online pricing.
