What else can I help you with?
If I have my front struts replaced does that system include new CV joints?
The consumable parts of the front suspension are the struts, CV shafts, tie rods (and ends) wheel bearings, and ball joints. Any of the parts can be replaced individually and typically wear out at different rates.
Can replacing shocks and struts fix an alignment?
Shocks and struts are more for the ride not the alignment. Tie rods, ball joints and how the front end is adjusted are the alignment. Jack the front end of the car off the ground. Grab the wheel at the top and bottom and see if it wiggles. If it does, that is the ball joints. Grab the sides and do the same. That is the tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm or drag link on rear wheel drive. Tie rods or the steering rack on front wheel drive. Having someone wiggle the wheel while looking at the steering linkages should let you see which part is worn.
When you hit a bump front end shakes?

How much does it cost to replace tie rods?
This job depends on the vehicle type, quantity of tie-rods, and quoted labor and parts price. First, most vehicles have four front tie-rods; two outers, and two inners. Additionally there other vehicles which even have rear tie rods! Usually the front outer tie rods fail first, and the inners typically last the life of the vehicle. It is recommended to replace tie rods in pairs to keep both sides wear equal. Replacing a single outer tie rods may be .75 hours of labor. An OEM outer tie rod may cost upwards of 40$ at cash wholesale cost. Lastly, the vehicle will require an alignment after installing tie rods, so factor additional cost.
