how could you tell your tie rod ends were worn out?

If i am reading your post correct, you are having trouble removing the nut? heat should usually do the trick, that is heating the nut till its cherry red, usually requiring an oxygen torch, home depot sells a small oxy-mapp torch for $50. If you where just using a propane or mapp torch that usually wont be enough...Or a grinder w/ a cutoff wheel, and just cut the bolt/nut @ the base.

If its the tie rod end itself that is seized into the spindle, pick up a front end service kit. harbor freight has them for $80 or you can loan on out from advanced auto parts for free.
