[V8] Front end questions

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Outer Tie rod ends?  Please specify.
Front? Rear?

IME premature failure is due to improper alignment, other worn suspension
components, or (important) not loading the suspension pieces before
tightening said suspension components.  Of course, overloading the
suspension with too much weight will also hasten premature failure.
