2000 Grand Caravan, Has anyone had a problem with the tie rod bending or breaking after 140K normal use no curb or external impact.
Is a pot hole or road construction irregularities a possible cause?

 

Heating suspension parts is not recommended. If its the inner tie rod,jobber ones are available but if you don't have the proper
tools to replace it or the knowledge have it done by a local garage. The outer tie rod is much easier to replace but you'll
still need to have the vehicle aligned after.
