Do I need to replace my tie rods, or just the ends? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I searched and found this, but I have a question (okay, two).
I suspect something to do with my tie rods are creating my shimmy. Would it be the tir rods or the ends? I haven't crashed into anything, I just suspect it's due to being worn.

Also, when replacing them, Dousan says to count threads. Is this so you don't screw your alignment? I get free alignments. Would an alignment make it better if I am off a bit?

Thanks!
Jeff
