## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the TRW tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearing that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness.  This can lead to premature wear out and a possible separation of the ball stud from  the socket and loss of steering control.  Correction:  All affected tie rods and drag links with different design ends will be replaced.
