New Tie Rods at 19k

[jcranston]

Anybody else had to have new tie rods at a low mileage?

I was getting a thumping noise on the front passenger side took it into the dealership where they had to replace both front tie rods. Service manager said he has replaced tie rods on some vehicles with less than 19k says they can't lube them anymore Probably the Chinese with their cheap metal

Never, but I'd like to go with a 20"

[wanna300]

base? C? srt-8? or all of them have these probems?

if i go with 22" rims (im under 2k miles) and if i have tie rod problems at say 20k miles, will they refuse to work on it b/c of the 22s?

Mine are the stock SRT8 20's

Well I guess 19k was not to bad compared to 13K

Mine are still holding up fine (knock on wood), curious though, I wonder why?
