Default tie rods

my 02 ss has the stock tie rods on it still but the passenger side is a little loose and has some play but nothing too major, kinda throwing my alignment off a little bit but i want to replace them on both sides inners and outers. i heard moog is a decent brand..any other options that you guys have used or recommend? thanks in advanced

Hard to go wrong with Moog. Little expensive, but it's good stuff.

Just chiming in to ask a question. I heard that the tie rods affect how stiff and tight the steering is. Is it the inner or outter tie rods that affect steering tightness? Or is it both?

They don't affect how stiff the steering is so much, but play in both your inner or outer tie rods can lead to very sloppy steering with a lot of free play in the steering wheel.
