I don't really know that you will want to do this yourself. I make a recommendation that you take the car to get a couple of estimates. Try the alignment or tire places. This is sort of their world of expertise. After the replacement you will want the car aligned as well.

Suggested Repair

Have an alignment or tire shop estimate and replace the bent driver's side tie rod, then align the car after the repair.
