Tie rod ends bad after 25 miles?
I started getting some play in my steering over the week. I finally raised the front and The only thing I could find wrong was play at the tie rod ends.
I was kind of surprised because less than 2 years ago ( and about 25 thousand miles ) I replaced the steering rack ( with a rebuilt ) and new tie rods.. I had back and forth play in both front wheels.. Is this typical for them to go this quick?

Are you absolutely 100% sure it's not the steering rack bushings?

Looks like outer tie rod to me. Take a fork and pop it off. That's dangerous play.
