Of course nothing is a good as getting under the car with a couple of 1/2” (13mm) spanner’s and doing a quick spanner check of the lower crosshead/kingpin fixings and tie rod.
I wonder how many people regularly check the tie rods? I know of at least three that have fractured, usually at the lower end where the threads start but unless you give it a wiggle, you are unlikely to notice as it stays in the normal diagonal position.
