tie rod failure

I have a 98 exploder with AWD. I recently had a tie rod end come apart(quite disconcerting). the part wasn't worn, still had grease, the ball just fell out, I know newer truck owners have experienced this but have never heard of it happening with Explorers, has anyone else experienced this???
