Inner and outer tie rods. Should have replaced them sooner 850 1995

In the last couple of months I've replaced the control arms, struts, spring seats strut bearings, bump stops, etc, on my '95 855T. The sway bar end links were replaced last year with IPD HD units.

While I had all of this apart I checked for play in the tie rods by wiggling the hubs back and forth and they seemed ok. No discernible play. Last week I started hearing and feeling a POP in the left front when turning the steering wheel one full turn to the right and there has been some creaking on the right side backing out of the driveway in the morning. Pulling the left wheel didn't show anything loose or worn but driving to work today as soon as I hit 45mph the front end starts shuddering back and forth.

Don't have time this week to deal with it so it's going to the local indy shop for possible tie rod ends and an alignment. $360.

Anything else it could be given what has been replaced already? As far as I know, these parts are OEM and the car has 197,000 miles on it. I bought it with about 60,000, just after the trans had been replaced.

Thanks,

Erwin
