Could Tein Tie Rod End cause mush feeling in handling?

I had Tein Tie Rod Ends for about 3 months now. In cold early morning, when I drive the car out of driveway turning the steering wheel feels direct and sharp. But about an hour later as I drive around, steering feels more and more mush.

Could Tein Tie Rod End be the cause of that?

I'd suspect more the rack seals slowly leaking than the tie rod inner/outers.

I have been monitoring the steering rack fluid level in reservoir ever since the install and had no change. I will closely monitor the reservoir and the steering rack seals.
