Are the tie rod failures and issues still a significant weak point in the MY 22.5 and newer builds?
I have a MY 2022.5 Badlands Sas and was going to toss a replacement stock inner tie rod in the truck in the event I experienced the infamous failure while on the trail.... However, when I went to order, I noticed the part number at Ford is only for MY 2021. Appears its a newer part for 2022. Does this mean Ford upgraded the part for MY 2022 and beyond?
There seems to be much less noise about tie rod failures hitting the forums and YT. Do I still need to prepare for an impending part failure?
I know I can add a brace as little as $50 to sure up the threads. (I actually prefer to carry a spare stock part and just be prepared for a trail-side repair.
I really wanted to know if issue has been addressed on the newer models by Ford releasing a stronger part.... Kinda like they fixed the dropped valve issue in their engines early on.... Or are people still breaking tie rods on relatively mundane wheel forces????
