Are you doing to work your self? or taking to a garage? The part is any where between $10-$25

and here's how to change it, looks like less then 30 minutes to change. I would assume a shop would charge about 100/150 and I wouldnt change just one, I would do both at the same time. You should call around and see what the shops by you charge if you dont want to do it your self

Never repair a single tie rod, you always repair the whole set at one time.
Allow for a realignment when you are done.

There's really no way to accurately answer that question.

Are you doing the work yourself, or taking it to a shop?
If it's ONLY tie rod ends, that's one thing. But if there are other problems, that's another.

Could you offer a bit more information?

Is the tie rod end being replaced due to normal wear and tear, or was it damaged?

If it's a damage situation and the other side is OK, then I see no need to replace both tie rod ends.

A "toe set" would be all that is affected by replacing the one tie rod end; ie, a full "alignment" isn't needed unless tire wear patterns indicate caster/camber issues. The replaced tie rod end will in no way alter the caster/camber on this car.
