Default Tie Rods..............

Hey guys- got alignment yesterday guy said I need tie is going south, I told'em OK- I'll look at it thanks for heads up. After a look I concluded gonna replace the inner and outer both sides, question is- where do y'all get good parts?

I pretty much go with NAPA 95% of the time. Don't by the cheaper PCC brand and get the NCP (napa chassis parts). Far better quality and basically all the NCP parts have lifetime warranty on them.

Look for coupons online to save you some cash and atleast here in MN if you order online to save in-store you get 10% off your order.

Amazon carries Moog problem solver parts. Those are what I will be using to rebuild my front end.

Thanks for all the input guys- I've seen Moog Problem solver pieces in some videos, but really- are they that much better? About the only thing I plan to do ultimately are some spindles up front(wondering about additional track width with that) and hangar shackles out back and nothing big on tires....

Moog is the same quality as the NCP line from napa.

Both are higher end parts and on just about all their tie rods, ball joints etc etc they have grease zerks and better rubber boots and bushings.

Hey guys- getting around to dropping the hammer on the tie rods, now wondering about rebuilding the entire front tend. Big question here, what is it that really wears out in the front end? No reservations on rebuilding the front end with 140k on the clock, just wondering what and how it wears out.........
