i last had my tie rods replaced about 5,xxx kms ago, and now they're making that clunking noise again.

is the Mini really that hungry for tie rods? sure, i go for spirited drives (ey, what's the point of getting a Mini if you baby it?) but i really don't expect to replace the tie rods every 5,xxx kms.

anyone having the same problem?

 

How bad (pot holes and such) are the roads in your area?

 

hard to describe it but they are some and i usually avoid them thanks to great response from our Minis

 

...outer or inner?
