Symptons of a broken tie rod

Hello I was just wondering wat the symptons would be if an rx7 had a bent tie rod.

Or if there was an uneven air pressure in the tires

A broken tie rod will be too obvious. Either your wheel can collapse into the side of your car or more generally you will feel crazy wobble and shake in your steering wheel at anything above 50 km/h!!!

Depending on how badly it's bent, I'm thinking symtoms would vary. From odd tire wear, vibration as Dradon described, erratic steering when turning in one particular direction to a squealing tire. If it's broken you'll know it.

EDIT: Now that I read your other thread and know the whole story, get an alignment and have it looked at. If you hit a curb hard enough to take out a tire, you probably did bend something else.
And posting multiple threads for this will often draw flames.
