    tie rods

    I replaced my tie rods with moog aftermarket replacements in august, and now one of them wore out already. Is there anything else i can get thats stronger? I was considering just buying duralast and keep replacing them on the lifetime warranty, but its a real PIA to do that every 6 months. BTW i autox, this is why they wear out so fast for me

    Youre best bet is to buy from Auto Zone and get a lifetime so you never have to pay again ....Dont know why your tie rods are going but you need to find out why and stop blaming the part or the manufacture....If it is such a PIA take some time to find out why....:)

    I autoX the car and it plows/understeers at low speeds. That means that the car is going forwards and the wheels are turned sideways. I run R-compound tires which amplifies the forces on the tie rods. Basically, i need race-grade parts.

    I never had a problem with my OEM tie rod ends (knock on wood). I have been playing with the idea of using spherical ball rod ends but it is near impossible to find a assortment of sizes in metric.
