Default Worn out outer tie rod endings

Tie rod endings are worn out at only 70k. The rubber covers are torn and you can see that the joints are all chewed up. Only suspension change was Eibach Pro Kit and camber bolts. (Definitely planning on new shocks later) And yes I had an alignment. I'm assuming the lowering changed the angles and caused them to wear out. The car still steers ok but you can hear a little bit of grinding.

Thinking about buying the steeda bump steer kit and obviously I'll need new joints too..??
Anyone else have this problem so soon?

Yeah I had that problem a few years back on my '05 right around the same mileage (maybe a little higher) though everything was stock on mine at that point. I have to change everything again here soon (as in the next couple of weeks) with just over 120K on mine but I have lowered mine in the last year too. Not sure if that has played any part in it or if it is all the pot holes in the roads right now.
