HI there,

All mechanical parts on the car will wear out sooner or later, if the steering rack end is worn, you will get shimmy in the steering, wandering, and if let to develop further it can and will eventually fail, which will cause the steering to fail completely, if it is faulty get it fixed.

Hi there a tie rod end should cost in the order of around $60.00 never use a second hand steering item as you don't know the history of it, it may have been stressed in a smash and it may fail with out warning, also you will need an alignment check as well.
