Outer Tie Rod Ends

08 GT 208,000 miles. Finally need to change out the factory stock outer tie rod ends. Car is spring lowered all around roughly 3/4"-1". Suggestions on tie rod ends?

Any reason for not going with OE? 208k durability from the first set sounds like a pretty good recommendation to me.

Only because it is lowered, but otherwise, I agree with you.

That's not really enough for you to be concerned. Just go with the stock ones.

If you're not lowered enough to know from your own driving only that it needs bumpsteer correction, the OE rod ends will be fine.

Out of curiosity, how many of those miles was the car driven in its lowered condition?
