Tie Rod Ends Has anyone used Magnum brand tie rod ends? I'm collecting parts to do a front end rebuild this winter on the 2000 T/A, have the MOOG ball joints already, now moving to the tie rods. I found a good deal for these Magnum ones, using the ES3238RL MOOG part number and everything. Any input would be appreciated!

Many of the front end components use similar part numbers, no matter who makes them, just to keep things simple. That doesn't mean that the parts themselves are the same quality.
I retired a year and a half ago, and recently took on a part time job at my local Advance Auto Parts store, just for some pocket money. We sell 3 brands of front end parts, naturally they are good, better and best. Moog is still #1, TRW is #2, and I wouldn't use the cheapest part even on a car that belonged to someone I didn't like.
You're talking about steering parts that can affect your safety. For the few bucks more, be safe and get Moog!
