Default Pattern parts.........don't

Just a warning, I bought a pattern part (tie rod end), looks the same, seemed OK, went on OK, but when I took it in for a MOT a few days later it did't pass because the tie rod had failed, the rubber insert on the threded part was starting to come loose and would move from side to side and would move in and out about 5mm. it looked like eventually it would come out completly, proberly just as i was going round a corner ar speed(don't like to think what could have happened!!)
