About how many miles do you guys and gals get from an outer tie rod end. Just replaced my 2nd one inside 1.5 years on my pass. side. That seemed like an awfully short time, maybe about 40,000 miles. It was easy to do, and not too expensive either. It's just that all my other cars lasted about twice as long. Any ideas on why mine would eb goin so soon? Thanks.

cheap replacements, bad rubber seals, gravely roads, and hard driving....

Mine still seems to be pretty tight. I do drive about 30,000 miles per year, so I guess thats part of it.
