Hey guys i have to get a right tie rod for my car so why not just change both right. So i decided to go with some better ones (aftermarket) since im already going to change em. I have searched the net and came up with these. Im just getting your oppinion. Also if you know any other places or if you know where i can get better ones please let me know thanks a million.
Also is this what i need. I have hard right turns.
(scratch the last one you pay for what you get:P)

the second ones are only inner tie rod ends. if you need “tie rods”, you probably mean outer tie rod ends, that’s what goes most frequently.
Dont worry anymore talked to man they call Varun:D I getting them from him and there gonna be installed to.
how do you know when they need to be replaced. inner/outer.
harder turns, like making a right turn was harder then making a left turn. This means they might be bent. Thats why you change them.
also if u notice you car is going striaght but your wheel isnt in the “normal” spot when its going straight you rods are prob Fu*ked
take your wheel off and , push and pull on the rod its self ,if the whole rod is moving ya’ll need inner , look at the out tie rod while doing this , if the joint is shaking alot or , u can see the ball coming out , ya’ll need outers hope it helps peace
lift the front end so u can get both wheels off the ground. keep the wheel on. go to the wheels and just grab and lightly wiggle the wheel. you shouldn’t feel ANY play whats so ever. it u feel a little movement, without move the steering. its the OUTER tie rod end. to check for inner tie rod ends. its better to have another person shake the wheel side to side for u. so tell the other person to shake the wheel side to side, without cranking the wheel. u put ur hand on the inner tie rod end, if u feel a ‘pop’ or ‘play’ when the steering is shaken, then its the inner tie rod end. i hope this helps…
oh that’s cool, that definitely helps.
and when you do inner/outer, you practically almost always need to do alignment correct?
Word i think that is a far better deal.
Yes and you have to do allignment when your done unless ur stupid.
