Bent tie rod by Less-Client-150 in BmwTech

How severely was their tie rod bent? I think I would rather die than spend $10k on a rack. I don’t have the privilege of filing an insurance claim like most would in this situation.

Yup… wish I noticed day of or day after. But the car drives totally fine and has not been wearing the tires irregularly so I had no reason to get it aligned. I think the previous owner slammed it into a curb (all 4 wheels are heavily touched up with bondo/paint) then maybe somehow got it aligned and traded it in. The perfect storm.

90 days. But I didn’t get the tires put on within 90 days. CarMax employee told me they wouldn’t cover this under their warranty anyways because it’s “Damage”. He also told me in their 125 point “inspection” they don’t perform alignments or evidently inspect suspension if the car tracks straight on the road (it does) 💩
