  Had problems with tie rods in GMC savana 2006 and they have been replaced for the third time. someone should be checking into why these tie rods are breaking, cracking, loosening up causing vehicle to lose control and pull to one side of the road. this IS also a custom handicapped van with a heavy lift and carrying precious cargo : my son who IS my life. if these break the steering will be gone and tires will pull to which ever side your vehicle was leaning towards at the time. this IS dangerous and should be issued in a recall immediately. The service tech stated it could be the required issued GMC rims which are 22 inches on there. he stated this should not be happening with only 20,000 miles on it since 2006. we use this vehicle to transport our son to and from places only.... Twice to nj in it from fl. *tr
