Seized tie rods, unable to get wheel alignment adjustments

[celica]

Car front tyre left outer is wearing badly and it also pulls to the left

So decided to get a hunter wheel alignment

I was surprised it was still within tolerance (just) on the nature of drive

I'm not sure if its rft, tracking issue, larger wheels at 20", adaptive drive which makes the front uneasy and follows every imperfection in the road

But tie rods are seized so getting this replaced
Anyone else had this issue?

I did on my E53. Lots of heat from a portable blowtorch did the trick.

Tried blow torch but the adjustment part wouldn't move

The nut in front was ok

Had the same problem with an E46 325i I bought from a BMW dealer. It would track all over the road, bit unearving , felt like it had a mind of its own. When I had the front tyres changed it transformed the steering, so may be a tyre issue.

Thanks

Yeah that's what it's like in rough surfaces tracks all over the place is a good way to describe it

Will get the tie rods first then tyres

Ordered tie rod assembly
Hoping to get these fitted tomorrow and hunter wheel alignment
Hopefully sorts out the steering feedback and pulling
