Default Inner Tie rod

ok i went to have my car aligned today, hoping i could get it fixed.. Just got the call back saying i need inner tie rod ends. they have to much slack so i can't get the alignment.. should i just replace those or look into replacing more of the front suspension??
the car just passed the 100K mark..

Personally, the only two I'd consider are Moog and OEM. The nice thing about Moog is you can grease the joints.

OEM. Some things are just best left to the factory.
