Default bad tie rod ?

Hi there. I have an 89 crx si and I am having some problems with the steering...
First of all, I have a bad bearing that I am about to replace. and I bought teins with agx's that I am about to replace stock suspension....

The problem that I have is that is easier to turn left than turning right.....

Maybe this is a bad tie rod ?..... I saw that the bushings were like warped, So I am planning on buying the energy suspension bushings for the tie rods......

Do you think this problem is caused by the tie rods ? or something else ?

Tie rods don't have bushings. The thing that is "warped" is a dust boot. All that does is keep the grease inside the balljoint, and dust outside. If it's warped, its fine so don't worry about it. If it's torn then you should just replace it with a new rubber one (as long as the balljoint is worn out). The ES part is just a red rubber boot that is more for looks (so all your suspension rubber is red). Just buy the $2 boot from autozone...

Most likely a bad alignment. Definently replace that wheel bearing first though...
