March of last year i replaced outer tie rods when i added my 2.5" level. now a year later, i've had my 6" lift for 2 months and the alignment shop is saying i need to replace them again. they shook the tire and there was movement, this time in the outers and inners. is this possible for them to wear out in just a year? i've put alot of miles on, mostly highway with occasional offroading. It's a well known alignment shop so i don't think they're BSing me? my previous tires had a hard time staying balanced so they contantly gave me a death wobble and now i have 35's not sure if that affects tierod wear

 

The death wobble could have definitely caused them to wear out fast.

 

both of the outer tie rod boots are torn almost all the way around so that's what i was thinking

 

pull one and check for play. count threads to ensure it goes back on as it came off.

do you have a warranty on them?

 

i probably do but im sure i threw the reciept away, already bought the parts gonna knock it all out this weekend

 

moog parts are now made in china and fail real fast.

 

I have to agree here, MOOG used to be the 'go to parts' for suspension parts. Lately I have seen and read where the quality has slipped somewhat. Don't know what to recommend now........

 

that might be what these are, i'm surprised at how fast they wore out. new ones are duralast

 

it'll say moog on it if it is.

Oreilly's had my moog stuff in the system last week when I replaced my drag link end.
