I'm saying the S shaped bend cast into the TRE could be off center just a bit, which definitely would cause a side load in the middle of of the assembly and make it weaker that if it was perfectly dead center.Do what? The tie rod is completely straight. The tie rod end is a cast part and it can have a bend in it, but the tie rod can't. If it does, there is something wrong and they need to be replaced.
The absolute center of the balls radius could be incorrect from the OEM and this would cause a weakness .
