Doing it yourself? Garage? Main dealer? Mechanic? Where to get parts? Car?
The parts aren’t expensive, you can get them fixed for a couple hundred
The repair procedure is very easy, you need to unfasten the nut that secures the end of the tie rod to your wheel, and then unscrew the tie rod. Screw the new one in(for my car tie rod costs under 7€), and try to match the old tie rod length. (this affects where your wheels point, if you screw too much or not enough, your wheels are not aligned and tire weat unevenly). You should always align tires after this procedure(hard to do correctly by yourself) or take it to 4 wheel alignment (70€).
TLDR: Very easy to do, can be done in ~minutes per side, but you should align your wheels after.
Or just take it to mechanic and pay couple hundred.

Yes. What are you asking exactly?
