Hey John. Smart idea with the clamp. Nicely done. I'd be interested in seeing your home alignment
On this 2018 Honda Accord, the left tie rod end went bad at about 94k miles and the right tie rod end went bad at about 120k miles. In contrast, both tie rod ends on my 2007 Honda Accord lasted the entire time I owned the vehicle (11 years and 400k miles!). Interesting there is such a difference given similar usage in both cases.
