tie rod seized on my 128i
Hi guys,
my 128i is out warrany as of this summer. brought it to a shop for alignment and the tech said that tie rod is seized and he wants to replace it. cost me 600 + alignment to fix the problem (replaces tie rod inner and outer.. i think). I also needed to change the oil.
so now, i wonder.
1. the computer still says "oil change" -700. is this normal? i kinda hoped that it is smart enough to figure out that the oil has been changed since it's not the case how do i reset it?
2. this tie rod seizure thing. I've never heard of it before, however i am no car expert still, never had this issue before with my jap cars. Is there a preventive care i should be following? i hope i will not pay 700$ every year for alignment?

PS: oh yeah, Boston area if it's important.
