get an alignment after! unless you are just some kind of tie rod master.

it's an easy job, just try to get the new tie rods to the exact same length as the old ones.

Don't forget the lock plates and boot bands. Yes, you can use zip ties as the boot bands, but eh, up to you if you want to save a few duckets. I just did this job yesterday.

I'd clean off the boots before starting the job as well. While removing them, you don't want to drop all this gritty crap onto the steering rod.
