last night on my way home from work i run into a thunderstorm that produced flash floods. the water was intense at times, but i managed my way home.

this morning after i put my air filter back on, the car started up and ran fine, until i had to cut the wheel. there is a scraping, squeeling noise coming from the front of my car when i need to turn the wheel. i took a few pics of the damage, it looks like the tie rods are damaged.

my questions are: are these tie rods? do i need an inner or an outter tie rod(s) or both? am i gonna get fucked on labor? is this a legnthy job to get fixed? im out here in vegas for school and what not and dont have any tools to fix it myself.

as you can see the boots are ripped and yes there are ripped on both sides. its a 95 integra. any help would be appreciated.
