For your car, anything would be fine. I would get a trusted brand like MOOG.

How do you know your tie rod is going bad?

Raise the car up in the air. Grab the tire at 9 and 3 and shake it slowly. If there is play, it's your tie rod ends. You would need someone to look if it's your inner or outter, though... If the is play at 12 and 6, then your ball joint has play. Too much of either play, replace the worn items and get an alignment.

MOOG ALL THE WAY..


I have 2 moog tie rod ends, and 2 moog front ball joints. Very pleased with them, very good and sturdy aftermarket WITH grease zerks (fittings)

Moog is good if not go with TRW some part stores offer lifetime warranty on TRW steering/suspension parts [sm=badbadbad.gif]

I found them at summit racing for $30 each. is that a good deal or can I get better price somewhere else?

sounds about good. I paid more than that from carquest. I'd say get um. You can get by without an alignment for a while, if you measure where the current tie rod is set at, and set the new one to the same position.

You will be very happy with the moog products. I have two moog tie rod ends, and two moog ball joints, and they are the tightest parts of my front suspension right now. [sm=smiley20.gif]
