If the outer tie rod is straight on that side but when you go over a bump and the car steers into it, the inner tie rod is probably bent. Ran into this with our PO damaged 90 244. Beyond that, check the four cross member mounting bolts that tie the cross member to the frame rails on both sides (2 per end). If the cross member has damage around the bolts or the frame rails have tweaked to the point where the paint cracked, you have a frame jig in your future.

Please note, 10 to 15 degrees on the wheel is significant, so if it is a tie rod, you should see significant inner or outer edge tire wear very quickly.

At a minimum, have the car aligned as that will tell you how far things are "off".
