To have them replaced before you have an alignment and they are already 6 years old? I would swap them out before paying for an alignment. But I would also look at the front struts, strut mounts, bushings, power steering rack for leaks, sway bar bushings, and inner tie rods before paying for a professional alignment ($80).

But if your pretty sure those other things are in decent shape and can wait a few more years then the minimum would be the out tie rods since they do have a lot to do with alignment and stress from steering. I'm border line at the moment with just replacing my outer tie rods before an alignment and waiting a few more years for struts or just going for a full frontal suspension/bushing replacement and know its good for the next 80,000-100,000 miles. ($600 in parts w/ alignment)
