I'm told my outer tie-rod is bad, but at 3 & 9.... 200

I went in to have an alignment done the other day and they told me my outer tie-rod was bad on the drivers side. Also my wheel bearings needed to be repacked. Well I know the bearings are fine but may need adjusting.

So tonight I jacked up that one side of the car and did the 3 & 9 test with no movement detected. I'm wondering if both wheels have to be off the ground to test the outer tie-rod or if they are mistaking my bad alignment which wore the outer part of that tire bald as a bad tie-rod.
