I've got an outer tie rod end going bad. I was just wondering what everyone here would recomend doing? This saturday i will be installing stance gr+pro coils and i figure why im in there i might as well get parts ordered to upgrade/fix this problem. I use the car for a weekend fun car, and Plan to eventually drift at the local track next summer. thanks for suggestions!

Replace inner and outer, OE s13 inners are weak as fuck, all after market inners are s14 dia.
Buy Tein, Ikeya Formula, or even Circuit sport inners.
Stay aways from cheap heim joint outers i.e. CS, megan racing, etc
Use OE style outer for reliability, CS, Tein, Moog, etc
Or if you want to adjust bumpsteer and gain slightly more angle use a high quality heim end such as SPL.

go with SPL outer with z32 or z33 inners if you can afford it

wait a minute, so Z32/Z33 inner tie rods will bolt on to stock s13?
