I had a few come apart while driving. On one car the left outer came apart. After i stoped the car i put the ball socket back on ball than raped it with a coat hanger to hold it together. I drove the car home @20mph fixed asp. But it did get me home.Tie rods usually break as the brakes are aplied this is when the weight of car is at most in front,they also break at throtel up.Very rare that they break at hiway speed.When it broke that wheel turned in and man it screemed ARRRRRRR! Apone brake-ing the front wheels want to point inward and at throtel up they want to point outward (weight shifting)this is the best way to explain it. So at throtel up the the inners want to break. At brake-ing the outers want to break this is most likely not info you wanted but wanted to share fix asap!!!!Also the drivers side breaks since it is all ways hitting curbs
