My 04 scab had a bad right tie rod twice, one at 12k and again at 30k, my tires were showing threads they weren't going to replace them (tires) until I bitched at the owner of the dealership and reminded him my family bought 4 vehicals from him in a year and a half...

Try this before you take it in, jack the front end up and see if there is any play by moving the wheel back and forth, I checked mine when I was changing my oil. If there is play you will feel a clunk as you move it .. I find it hard to belive that I'm the only one that had 2 bad tie rods... by the way the dealership had 5 guys tell me there was nothing loose until I jacked the truck up in their parking lot and showed the f'n idiots myself..... wow they said I had a bad tie rod....
