I had the same issue with my RC adj track bar. Mine went out after about 1500 miles. Their tie rod ends are pieces of ****. I got a new one on warranty and that failed in less than a week. Tried to contact them for another replacement multiple times and finally got the order placed but never received the part... gave up after that. I suggest buying a quality Moog or other TRE, should eliminate the problem.
