“Outer tie-rod assembly driver and passenger sides - 2.4m5 4x4. Premature wear and deterioration. Owned vehicle since purchased new in 2009, have driven 41k of which 90% is highway, although the condition of paved roads is not ideal very surprised that outer tie rod drivers side loose at 30k ( replaced under warranty ) now passenger side loose at 41k. Dealer seems to be quite familiar with issue ( parts always in inventory for small dealership ) and does tie-rod checks for each oil change however does not want to replace tie-rods claiming warranty no longer covers damage.”
