Premature wear on track rod ends

I have had my track rod ends replaced 11 months ago,and they have gone again. Am I covered by a warranty at the garage that replaced them as they are less than 12 months old?

Depends on whether other worn suspension components put undue strain on the track rod ends. If they did, not warranted.
