I had a local shop almost get me killed because they didnt tighten stuff after an alignment. So you may think this is not a shop that did this but it could have been.

Its become a bowl joint.
That tie rod end was made for the driver side, or its upside down
Is that not supposed to have a castle nut with a pin?
