Thanks for finding these. Just ordered from Amazon for $20/each. The deliver quicker and have a better return policy than RockAuto. I’ll post up observations.

Can’t go wrong with Moog. They’re just about the best when it comes to tie rods & ball joints, they even have a partnership with NASCAR which they manufacture steering and suspension components for them.

I have a newbie question. How can you tell if you need to replace your inner tie rod. I had a shop tell me I needed to replace my passenger side inner but I don’t truly trust them. I want to diagnose it myself.

If the steering rack boot on that side is ripped/torn, that's a pretty good indicator that the ITR may be bad.
