Just got a call from the mechanic, told him my steering felt funny maybe needing an alignment. they called and said i need a right front tie-rod. how much should i expect to pay for one and maybe installation? Is it easy to do? I have minimal tools and no lift.

Watch the brand on turbo tie rods. Lemforder is the OE manufacturer and people have reported failure of the rubber boots on the 'discount' brands. Once the rubber boots are gone, the life of the part is shortened.
