I went for inspection and they failed me for bad left (passenger side?) inner tie rod. I came back and put my car on jack stand. It looks like this:

The driver side is fine.

Since everything is very tight when I try to shake or move the wheel, I think may be only the boot need to be replaced.

What do you guys think? Should I just replace boot or the inner tie rod? I need to do alignment anyway since I will also replace strut bearing. Anyone knows where I can find instructions to replace tie rod or boot?

damn man they failed you on just a boot? thats sucks bro. just remove the outer tie rod and unclamp the boot, slide it off, slide the new one on.

I went to AAA since they are the closest. They wanted $250 for tie rod and alignment!

Thanks for you input bro. Do I need to fill the boot with grease?

boot kits comes with grease, so yes, you need to grease it.

I bought this:

It doesn't come with grease. But I have Valvoline DuraBlend Grease. So I will just fill the boot with grease then. I also need to replace my front shock/strut boots. Do I need to grease those too?
