Three trucks are road testing. 2500, 5000, and 9000 miles. We have puller the tie rod ends off of the two higher mileage trucks and tested them against new ends, and have not been able to find any measurable wear. We are using a dail indicator at .0001". So far there are no problems, and no wear issues. Thanks for the interest
