I found out while getting new tires on my car that my tie rod ends (outer) are worn out and on their last leg. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best (affordable) replacement? Also how do you change them yourself? I got to save money considering the money I just dumped on new tires lol.

thanks

I personally like to use Moog stuuf, from the quick search I just did it looks like Moog part number ES3238RL would be a good option for you.

Moog

I'll have to look into those then, are they hard to install? I did a search on how to do it but I didn't quite understand how to do it.

Moog!

Above will get one end off. The other you need to remove cotter pin, unscrew castle nut, then use a pickle fork, or smack with hammer to seperate.
At lease that is howmost tie rods are.

Also understand that you will need an alignment immediately after you've replaced them. The proceedure listed above is what I've always done with tie rods.

Moog, Moog, and nothing but Moog!

I knew about the front end alignment, I think it needs it anyways. Are there any specific places to get the moog rods??

AFAIK, the OEM ones are sealed, but the Moog ones have a Zerk grease fitting -- so are the greasable versions better for any reason?

greasable are definitely better. being able to grease the joint means that you can increase its life.

Moog is as good as it realistically gets.

Any GOOD, local parts supplier will be able to get you Moog parts. If not, there's always mail order...

You can also count the amount of threads showing on the old tie rod and use that as a reference when installing new ones. This will allow you to put your alignment close to what it was before replacement.
