I have a 92 pathy (125k miles)with original tie rods. How do you know if you need new ones, or when should they be replaced?

Grab the front tire and wiggle it side to side. If you can see the joint in the tie rod end moving and the rest of it isnt moving, then it needs replaced. Generally, if they get sloppy, they should be replaced.

At 125k, I'd consider doing it anyway.
