Alignment

If there are nuts on both sides of it, it looks like you bend the tabs over to keep the nuts in place. 

We need some of those on the SOC.  ;-) 

Looks like liking tabs where never folded over.

You should have to loosen the lock nuts on BOTH ends of the tie rod in order to adjust.  

My concern would be that the nut with the clip was never tight.  This might explain why you lost alignment. You should adjust the toe, tighten lock nuts on both ends of the tie rod and then bend the lock tabs over onto the flats of the nut.

Forget about the alignment. ^^^^What Troy said!^^^^

A nut lock was my first guess, but I wasn't sure.

I did loosen those lock nuts, and now it turns freely. They weren't as tight as I'd expect them to be. They will be when I'm done though.

It was toed out pretty bad. It was squealing in the turns at normal law abiding citizen speeds.

And don't forget to check your tire pressure...
