I still don't understand what the question is and not sure the replies you've gotten are related to what you're asking.

Not sure how a new tie rod would change anything, it's a straight rod that the ends screw on, pretty simple.

Can you clarify what you're talking about and asking? Instead of saying "old ones" and "what I have" use part names, tie rod end, steering arm, tie rod, and so on, it'll help us get a better idea what's up.
