Default tie rod ends

So i went to a local shop and they changed both tie rod ends. only $19.50 labor anyhow i have a squeal sound when I turn sharp and the grease is coming out of the certs I took it to a dirt shoulder and turn the wheel right and left hard .it seems to be getting a little better does this sound right I didn't think it would be squealing.the good thing is the parts are guaranteed for one year.

Tie rod ends won't squeal. What exactly did you have replaced ? Factory .. Only the pitman TRE (drag link) and driver side TRE (tie rod) are sold separate from the tie rod/drag link.
