Default Routine Maintenance - Look What I Found
As I was greasing the front suspension components this past weekend I noticed that grease was coming from the tie rod end in a place where it should not be coming from!!

A hairline crack was apparent!!

Replacement time and I am glad that I found it before a major woops occurred!!
