What brand for tie rod ends?
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 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.
