how often do tie rods and ball joints need to be replaced on a 90 240? 200

Hello Brickers,

Just a quick question. I know it depends on driving styles, wear and tear etc. but generally, how often should tie rods and ball joints be replaced?

I had my tie rods done in 2005 and ball joints in 2006. A mechanic suggested changing both ball joints because they were worn - driver side one was shot, so I did...Now he is recommending doing the tie rods before getting it aligned.

Make sense? or good sales pitch?

any thoughts?
