Ok as you can see the tie rods are bent You will also notice that the leading edge of the A-arm is bent (above picture) I will straighten that out this winter when I am changing seals a and doing other things. Here you can see both tie rods are bent and the tires were actually running pretty straight, the owner must have adjusted them after they were bent rather than straighten the rods out. above you can see the modified tie rods I am going to install and the old bent ones. I will straighten the old rods then install 3/4" tubing over the rod,weld the ends and paint. I usually have a spare set of these rods in my tool kit so if we ever meet up and you need a set I get 15.00 each exchange for these rods but your old rods must have good threads. I have had a set of these modified tie rods on my other Pilot for 5 years and have not bent one yet. Here is a bottom view of the repaired lower rear control arms. The skid plate don't really look to bad in these pictures but trust me it is bent in several key places and is in need of a paint job.
