My car is 20 years old , 120k miles , and still happy on the original arms . Maybe it's cheap replacements that fail , so the grease nipple could be a good idea on those !
yes your right. thought i was doing the right thing at 42k when i changed my originals and binned them.... wish i had not. just replaced both sides inner and outer tie rods that were originals only to find they are still very good and serviceable. i have put those away this time as they are good enough to go back on if needed. suppliers of these spares can only supply whats being made and its becoming increasingly evident that in the cut throat world of aftermarket spares cheapness of production quality is the key to increased sales. it is what it is.
