I'm having problems with my inner tie rod ends.I've replaced them 3 times in the past 2 years.I just had them replaced this time after only 8 months.I own a 98 F150 4WD with the 4.2.I use my truck for work,but it doesn't get used very hard.I rarely use 4 WD.I also replaced the idler arm last year.Anyone have any ideas?Thanks!

 

What manufacturer are you using for the replacement parts? Same every time? May think about a new vendor.

 

I don't do the work myself.My cousin who owns a garage does.We are on the 2nd manufacturer.The first was Moog.This time he used a brand from Autozone with a lifetime warranty.I guess we'll see how it goes.

 

i'd try using ford parts, they usually aren't much more expensive than aftermarket stuff and the quality is way better, also are you having it aligned on a machine or by sight, do you have over sized tires, are the parts being greased when they are put if they have grease zerks, all of these thing could contribute to premature wear, good luck
