help me OEM tie rods

[BoogyManNN]

I have to get a tie rod end. should i replace both or just the one that needs replaceing? And which ones should i get DURALAST,BECK_ARNLEY or Moog Automotive tie rods?? or is there any other suggestions. i know there are SPL ones and stuff like that but i dont need that level of tie rods yet i think.:x:

Replace both sides. If you have a s13, you can get thicker ones and get s14 OEM replacements. I got a set off ebay (inners and outers) for like $60 shipped with the same part number as MOOG (a lot of people choose moog for oem replacement) but they weren't labled "MOOG".

EDIT: Wait, if you're just replacing the ends, then you'd have to get s13 replacement ends (if not getting aftermarket). To use s14's, you'd have to replace the inners and ends.

ebay huh never thought of that

option imports has the tein inners for 75 or so and the outers for the same price. free shipping with the code on their website. 155 shipped roughly.

whatever you get, don't forget to buy the inner dust boot and the tie rod boot as well.

Is it important to get OEM replacement front outer tie rod ends, or will generics work fine and be as reliable? Any particular brands to buy/avoid if not OEM?

These seem to be the best price I found, but I think they are generics:
