I successfully installed the tie rod ends.
Very easy job.
I used a "pickle fork" to pop out the end. (this is the specialized tool used for this job).
I also aligned my own wheels. The alignment is bang on.
However, I didn't think my control arm bushings were bad, so I returned the new ones.
Turns out the passenger side control arm can be wiggled a little bit.
But, I guess the parts store gave me the wrong bushings anyways.
They gave me 2-rear passenger side bushings and 2-rear drivers side bushings.
I don't think they can get the bushings for the front of the control arm... I'll do some more poking around.
If I can't find any, I think I'll just have to purchase a new control arm.
Karma distributed.

Thanks.
