Outer tie rod issue

[08z71tahoe]

has anybody had to replace their outer tie rods yet? the one on the passenger side busted... i think its because i had a non hub/wheel centric spacer on it.

The tie rods are inexpensive and easy to install, just wondering if anybody else has had this issue.

I am just wondering what were the symptoms of the worn out tie rod?

When installing my Leveling kit I did notice there was some play on the tie rods, so two weeks ago I replaced them with Moog tie rods before getting my alignment.
As for the symptoms one cant really tell but if you jack up the truck til the front wheels are off the ground and pull on the tires and you feel play then they are worn.

i think my lift kit caused it... but no symptoms... i just climbed under it to check everything out and say it.. i have the new parts and haven't even bothered putting them on yet... i'm sure i will soon

But if my tie rods looked like that pic I would change it asap. Mine looked new when I changed them out there was just little play on them.
