inner & outer tie rod ends bent



Hi all,

I have a Volvo C70 that I bought, used, 1 year ago.
Because of some vibrations you can feel driving at 60 - 70 MPH, I
decided to have my car checked for wheel balance and alignment.
The garage is well known for doing, usually, a good job.
They did the wheel balance part. But they did not do the alignement
part because they found the inner and outer rod ends bent, and I need
to fix this before the alignment.
The estimate is around 500$.
I'm driving the car after the wheel balance and I think it is
improved, but I can still feel the same vibration I had before, maybe
a little less.
My question: do you think that fixing the inner and outer rod ends
(and the alignement) would take care of the vibration?
I'm just afraid of spending 500$ on a car that i like but that has
160K, and then discover that the problem is still there....

Thank you in advance
.
