Tie rods inner and outer

Hello,
Do the rear have inner and outer tier rods like in the front? Or it's only supported by the strut. Local mechanic said it needs all four to get a good wheel alignment. I'm trying to buy parts online but I don't see them for the rear. Also any place where to get struts cheap and good for rear and front? Thanks

Oh, yeah, a FWD car totally has rods for steering in the back. And a solid axle can totally be aligned!

Get a new mechanic.

You don't need inners if the boots aren't broken b/c I doubt they're worn out.

I'm thinking about buying the 8 piece suspension kit from 1aauto. http://m.1aauto.com/suspension-kit-front/i/1asfk00999?f=662679&y=2002&utm_campaign=gb_csv_br& utm_content=SFK&gclid=CKWeisrc2sECFUGCMgodIwYA8g

I don't know what kind of brand they are. Has someone had these before? As for the rear, I will not do anything and instead save up for new struts. Suggestions?

There isn't anything to mod in the rear. It's a solid rear axle in the back so don't even need a 4 wheel alignment

Get MOOG with the grease **** if available.

Cheap struts? KYB or Monroe
