My wife bump into the parking lot column with the front left tire while backing out and caused the steering wheel off center (alignment off). I went to the shop for alignment and the tech told me the tie rod, both inner and outer are bent and need to be replaced. He used hex wrench and turned the tie rod to show me the bent and told me it supposedly need to be straight.

Did anyone replace them before and roughly how much the parts cost? Is there any aftermarket ones or only OEM parts?

Thx for any input.
