A lot of aftermarket stuff can be garbage so what's a good brand y'all have used? OEM is naturally pricey but I can go with it if need be.

The Beck/Arnley tie rods look an awful lot like Sankei 555s, which are OE for many Japanese cars. Moog is a crapshoot; can either get made in USA or some overseas junk.

 

I have Movetech and I have no complaints with them, however mine came with grease fitting, I thought they were seal units, but seem like greasable unit are better since they would last longer. but I have to give the benefit of the doubt.

I recently installed the Moog Problem Solvers and they have been great. I think it is the regular moogs (Not the problem solvers) that you want to stay away from.

 

just installed oem because I got them for a steal, but I've always stuck with oem and moog for the ends.

 

I contacted Moog & B/A, and their tie rods are made in USA and Japan, respectively. I'm going with B/A since it's non-greasable. It should last many years being a Japanese part.

I have USA-made Moog Problem Solvers on my Accord. They're good quality but greasing them every oil change is a pain since the fittings get plugged up with crud.

 

They lied to you, Taiwan or China or Vietnamese

 

I bought B/A for my Hardbody and they were made in Japan.

 

The B/A's are usually Sankei 555s. If you go online to the various auto stores and the online auto stores like Rock Auto you can see pictures of the tie rods. Most are made by the same companies with different names and prices.

 

All they did was drill a hole and put a zerk fitting on the greasable ones.
You can do this to anything just youtube it if you're not sure.

You are lucky, never had a chance with a JP Beck arnley
