useage and road(or lack there of ) conditions seem to play a big part here.

I agree on the tie rod end comments and especially on the track bar. On my 03, the passenger side track bar bushing was badly worn. This was probably due to heat from exhaust header.

The front tires are cupping on the inside of the tread as well. Will worn tie rods leave me stranded? Any suggestions for better parts?

The 06 has no zerk fittings under the truck.

Anyone seen a good tie-rod thread lately?

I had mine replaced (upper and lower pass side) at about 32k mi. 2 months over factory waranty. Extended waranty covered and paid dealer to put in aftermarket greasable. Thought somthin was up when she started squeakin when I'd turn the wheel.
No lift, factory tires, no plow, and very little off-road.

My 02 at 110K the dealer changed out the left side, said I didn't need both sides? Well, I didn't think I even needed the left side? Tires wore perfect and not a hint of trouble cept the fact my SD has been perfect and I've not been spending any money at the dealer lately and thay were'nt about to let me off that easy. Tons of miles off pavement bouncing between the seat and headliner. Gotta say my old Fords with IFS at that mileage had every part changed at least once or twice. trimman
