Well you can also go get the alignment checked at a front end shop. alot of them will do the inspection for free and give you a alignment spec sheet and list of whats bent

Start with the tie rod end, the take it to get aligned if it still out then take it to a frontend shop and get an estimate and some ideas where to continue replacing parts.
