Tie rods are a 'wear' type component - they perform their job every time you touch the steering wheel, and ultimately just wear out.
Outer tie rods are very easy for the do-it-yourself mechanic - typically 30 minutes or so.
Inners are more complicated due to their location, but also 'doable'.
While I've never paid to have one replaced, the cost should be reasonable due to the simple nature of the repair.
While not written specifically for the Windstar, the "Related Question" below for the Taurus/Sable is very applicable to the Windstar.
Autozone.com also offer free online repair guides that cover tierod replacement.
