    Outer tie rod failure isn't unheard of on the trail. But for everyday driving yeah probably not likely to happen. I stuck with OEM on outers plus the OEM ones weren't expensive. OEM inners were $$$ though so I did 555s on those.

    See the inner is the one I’d be more worried about than the outer. I’ve seen many aftermarket racks with shot inners after 20-30k miles

    Well hopefully the 555s live up to being decent parts, I've seen a couple broken outers before (both FJs weirdly enough) with the crosseyed wheels. Not sure if they were running aftermarket or if it was an oem failure

    Outers are hard to fuck up. Inners I’ve had some come fresh out of the box with play.

    A lot of outer failures I’ve seen are aftermarkets with grease fittings. And people not greasing them. The ball just falls out of the socket eventually

    Yeah the two I saw on the trail were popped out of the socket but I don't recall if they were greasable ones or not

    I’ve got a bad whirring noise from the front passenger side. It’s been there for a while, even before my ball joint issue. I drove without the radio on tonight to listen for anything odd, and it seems louder than usual.

    Maybe a bad a wheel bearing, or is this tire noise?

    If it gets louder when you brake, tires

    Only $160 to get an ECGS bushing installed in a 2nd gen at ECGS. Not bad.

    Make sure the dust shield from the wheel isn't rubbing the rotors.

    UG UI is nicer. SG lets you enter custom PIDs to read vehicle-specific gauges, not sure if the UG does that.
