Ditto on the tie rods if expense in not an issue and it sounds like you will be disconnecting them anyway. I was going to post on your other thread, but saw this here. On all three of my Fords, the inner tie rod on the passenger side seems to wear the fastest, as expected. I guess the inner isn't as tolerant as the outer. The inners have lasted from 50k to 80k. Don't recall much on the outers. So far only one lower ball joint control assembly so far I think at 100k. My time is coming. I'd go based on mileage and how rough your roads are. If you need front alignments once a year, I'd expect you need these parts often too.
