A stress riser is created at the threaded portion of the adjustment sleeve which may cause a fatigue fracture and failure of the tie rod where it screws into the sleeve.

Failure of the tie rod on the front axle results in lossof steering control and a possible vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Replace the tie rod with a tie rod that does not use an adjustment sleeve.
