2001 mitsubushi Montero Sport. . . Tie rod sleeve on passenger side unexpectedly came apart as I was pulling out from parking space onto busy roadway. This caused me to not be able to steer correctly. Mechanic replaced tie rod and feels that it was a manufacturing defect as threads where still intact just fitting was not proper. You have the ability to screw tie rod together and physically pull them apart by hand. Had this happened while driving on highway results could have been catastrophic. Before this incident there was no indication of a problem with the tie rods that failed so needless to say when they came apart it was a total shock. I do have the old parts that where removed for inspection if necessary. The repair bill was $285 I was hoping to be able to recoup our expenses. I'm hoping you can advise me on how to do this. Thank you.
