How can I tell if inner tie rod ends are bad? 200 1990

I'm getting ready to do a pretty complete steering suspension rebuild on a 90 240 with 145k miles. Quite a bit of clunking and creaking going on. The one part that I am wondering about are the inner tie rod ends- mainly because dealing with the peening will be pain and it doesn't seem like they wear as much. But, if they are likely to be bad or go bad soon, I'll do them. I've pulled one of the boots and everything looks good.
How do I tell if they are going bad? What is typical lifespan for them?

Thanks!
Lyle
