What exactly is wrong it? Is it the ball joint end, or is it the threaded shaft going into

the tie rod end that is loose?

ball joint end is loose - causing play in wheel (side to side)

Damn, I havent seen one fail that fast. Usually when they go that

quick its because the alignment shop wrenched down to hard on the shaft causing it to break free from the rubber its molded into. Thats why I asked where the failure is.
