On a "tripcheck" before letting my wife take the Jeep for an extended trip, The mechanic found that one of the tie rods was sub-par. I asked that he save the parts for me.

That means that there was a flex in the threads that allow for adjustment even when the backnut was tight (IE wheel alignment). |
