There is no real average. I have seen them last 200,000 miles and I have seen them fail in 50,000 miles. I would say they should easily last 100,000 miles or more.

The length of time that tie rods last will vary depending on the type of car you have, the usage of your vehicle, and the brand of tie rods. However, as a rule of thumb, they should last approximately three years.

How much does it cost to replace tie rods?

This job depends on the vehicle type, quantity of tie-rods, and quoted labor and parts price. First, most vehicles have four front tie-rods; two outers, and two inners. Additionally there other vehicles which even have rear tie rods! Usually the front outer tie rods fail first, and the inners typically last the life of the vehicle. It is recommended to replace tie rods in pairs to keep both sides wear equal. Replacing a single outer tie rods may be .75 hours of labor. An OEM outer tie rod may cost upwards of 40$ at cash wholesale cost. Lastly, the vehicle will require an alignment after installing tie rods, so factor additional cost.

Is it normal to need to replace tie rods on 1996 Ford Aerostar van almost every year and why do they keep breaking?

No it is not normal for the tie rods to break frequently. It is common for them to wear out early and if you replace them with cheap units they may fail again soon. I suggest that you spend the money and take it to a garage that specializes in front end work and have them install quality parts. I like Moog or Napa's best parts. I just did my front tie rods on my 1996 and had them install Moog parts, the Moog parts cost 2x as much as the cheap parts yet will last at least 2x as long. I only replaced the outer tie rod ends this time, did the inner tie rods 2 years ago. The outer tie rods (Moog) were $35 each side, Cheap ones were less then $20
