How long does it take to change a track rod end on my Alfa Romeo?

- Impact: If the track rod end experiences a sudden impact, such as from a pothole or curb, it can break.
- Improper installation: If the track rod end is not installed correctly, it can break under the stress of normal driving.
How do I know if my Alfa Romeo track rod ends are worn?
