Driving on rutted or potholed roads could loosen tie rods but generally this means they were not torqued properly in the first place. If the castellated locknut did not have a cotter pin installed the locknuts could loosen. If the locknut is of the swaged type (kinda out of round) they must be replaced as they will not lockup properly. DON'T SCREW around, get the tierods secured properly, you could lose control of the vehicle, killing yourself or worse yet someone else.
