Could anyone recommend a quality track rod for my defender ?

I fitted a delphi set (which I thought were quality) and one has failed after 12000 miles

Thanks

How did it fail?
I have always fitted the cheap shtiers to my 90 with no issues.

Dont think worn track rod end will cause vibes, but you never know.
Vibes I see often at work are mostly tyre related, seen a few prop related ones as well.
Maybe swap wheel/tyres front to back?
I assume tracking is okay?

I last did mine in the autumn of 2013. They were Lemforder brand. I keep trying to wobble them to see if there's any slack, but I haven't found any yet, and they must have done at least 100,000 miles. More importantly, the MOT inspector hasn't found any yet either.
