replace outer tie rod ends?

i need to get an alignment done soon since i put on eibachs/kybs. im wondering if i should replace the tie rod ends first. i don't think there is any problem but the boots on them are a little dammaged and greasy. anyone know if its worth the extra wait to order and install. if the boots are shot what would the symptoms be, squeeky turns, hard steering, grinding? also i assume i don't need longer camber bolts since it only dropped 1.2", is that true?

When in doubt,replace..

If your wheels dont look like this / \ then you probably wont need camber bolts.

yeah i keep telling my wife that this is better than major repairs every month ie. a car payment. i guess i just want to get the alignment done right away but if i don't fix them and they do become a problem then ill have to repeat the alignment job. i sound cheap
