Default Question about drag link

I know this is not good but how soon should I put my new Synergy drag link on, and will there be any noticable improvement?

a torn boot doesnt automatically mean you have a bad rod end. Take a pair of channel locks and squeeze the joint, looking for up and down movement.

Like this. Mind you, this is a 1-ton end.

Same style video but on a JK
