2000 Oldsmobile Alero Tie rod ends - replacement.

no it's not unusual , they have a lot of wear and tear to endure, not a bad idea to inspect then every so often and replace as needed.

Nope! You are lucky to have gotten 106,000 miles out of it. They do wear out!

You guy's ROCK ! !

Thanks so much for comments. Now I can go the mechanic who services the car. I was told about the tie-rod from a tire shop.

Which is why I thought I get a 2nd opinion !

Hello !

Thanks for reading this posting. I have a question aboutTie-rod ends (left-outer) being replaced. Is this unusual for this part to wear down?

I thought they would pretty much last the life of the car.

Thank You,

No problem, good luck with it!
