yes, exactly, well greased regularly, no signs of rust. Yes, replacing all with moog like any other suspension or steering component problem i have come across, just never had a tie rod snap pretty heavy duty. Clueless, i will say while driving hitting a bump in the road or something, hear some milde clunking, checked it out many times changed upper and lower ball joints, hopefully this will have something to do with it.i want to change my hubs, need bearings soon, plus oter hub switch auto/lock is chewed up a bit, asny sugestions on what hub to use? thanks for all your help
