In that case, I think you'll find the car is much more pleasant to drive with the play of the worn inner joint on the tie rod removed from the equation.

My cars must have all lived beyond their lifetime, as I think I've replaced every original tie rod. Once you get the old one out and compare the joint tightness to the new one, you'll shake your head and wonder how it got that bad and did not destroy itself. Of course a rip in the boot will accelerate the process.

By the way, amazing to me, I have never needed (yet) to replace one I've replaced, so I cannot comment negatively on the longevity of the aftermarket cheapos I've been using.
