I am thinking the tie rod is a bit like a fuse. It’s a cheap part that’s easy to replace. I am wondering if a HD tie rod will cause the failure to a more expensive upstream part. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

GM engineers made it that way. They WANTED the tie rod to break first so more expensive damage would not occur. It may be best to just keep a spare handy.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
That makes sense.
I wonder what if any affects to warranty having the modded tie rods?
