My tie rod is loose

From the I-love-dealerships department:
So, an update on the ol’ car situation: I take the car into the dealership’s garage this morning for replacement of the defective ball joint assembly under warranty. They call me back just now and tell me that the tie rod on that side is loose. This makes me wonder if a) the tie-rod problem is related to the screw-up on the ball-joint assembly and/or b) the mechanics have orders to “find” new problems, especially when doing work for free (e.g. warranty repairs).
Anyways, it’s not a bad problem yet, so I’m going to wait and get the tie-rod fixed when I do the winter tires.
At the friendly non-stealership garage.
