Hello,

Tie rod ends are considered part of maintenance item as they will need to be replaced due to wear and tare.
Replacing the tie rod ends will require basic hand tools including wrenches and a pry bar.
Can be done in few hours depending on your comfort level.
You will have to lift up the vehicle on stands and remove the wheels to access the tie rods.
Below you will find replacement instructions for both inner and outer tie rod ends.
