I've had to replace the Ball joints twice (the Spicer joints were replaced
because the teck didn't line up the grease points on the lowers properly).
I've just recently replaced all 4 tie rods. A little rubbing on the inner
frame member on the front at full lock, but nothing that would damage
anything.
I think the tire size does put some sort of extra strain on the sterring
components, but I've told myself it is the crap factory parts and not my
tires.
