I purchased newer style tie rod ends and installed them a few years ago. The truck hasn't gone anywhere except in and out of the garage for various project work since them but both rod end seals split. The source for the replacement rod ends indicated that they think the GM 3687643 seal should work but I am not so sure.

I suspect the problem is cheap off shore rubber sourcing but if anyone has a good source for such parts I would appreciate a lead.
