Forgot to get a picture but I'll get one tomorrow. I replaced the tie rods when I did the suspension on my 190E Sportline about 18 months ago. Tuesday, I had the wheels off to get the bumper, etc off for new belt tensioner, power steering pump and AC compressor. Noticed that the outer tie rod boots on both sides were split. I have no explanation as to why that would happen since I replaced the URO tie rods the PO put on there with Genuine Mercedes.
