Tie Rod Problems
Hey everyone, I have a 1998 F-150, it's 4X4 with the 4.6L V8, Last spring I broke the tie rod on the passenger side, The ball joint actually is what broke. I didn't have the money to change both tie rods but then a month later the driver side also broke and I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if there is an after market replacement that is tougher? I would like it if anyone has had some info on this problem, Thank you

Hi fordrule13 and welcome to the forum 
This does seem to pop up on here every once in a while. I doubt that any aftermarket ends are stronger but you can get greaseable ones that might last longer....if you grease them regularly.
The best thing to do is check the front end closely at every oil change and replace any worn parts before they break.
