+===== Changed tie rod ends and got tires, alignment from Les Schwab =====
+(November, 2025) I purchased tires from Les Schwab, and they refused to do an alignment because the tie rod ends were moving too much. Returned home then over the next couple of days, purchased inner and outer tie rod ends for both front wheels from Amazon, and installed them. Borrowed O'Reilly inner-tie-rod-end tool to install that.
+Had some problems with the black left and right rubber "bellows" (which encapsulates the inner tie rod ends) which has a pipe so that air can flow between them. Sometimes there is a bit of a fart sound.
+Return to Les Schwab, and they did the alignment. The steering is wonderful at this point.
