Worn Outer/InnerTie Rod End

How would you know if the Outer/Inner Tie rod end is worn out just by looking at it?
I know steering will be unpredictable like jerks the car left or right etc. But just want to know how the mechanics know if its worn out by looking at it. Obviously if its badly bent that will certainly needs replacement Cheers!

Wiggle your tie rods. If they move without the steering then they are worn.

easiest way is to check them while the car is on the ground/over pit, get some one to wobble the steering wheel left to right and hold each tie rod joint in between your fingers, you should feel no play in these joints......( i have been a suspension tech for several years!) good luck!
