Anyone recommend a brand or location where I should get very good quality tie rod ends? I dont wanna buy discount auto stuff, and I am not sure if the actual nissan tie rod ends are good..

 

MOOG parts with the lifetime warranty, those are as good as you can get. O'Reilly's sells them, or if you have some time to wait, you can get them cheaper on rockauto.com

 

But is that an actually good quality product or it just offers lifetime warranty? I dont really care much about the warranty (usually when they have lifetime it means they break every few months).

 

Moog is a well known brand that offers quality products.

 

Cool sounds good then ill order them.

 

I went with OEM after having them POS moogs crap out on me. Been riding on OEM inner and outer tierods for over a year without a problem. The moog on the other hand lasted me less than a 20k miles. However they had lifetime warranty so I was able to redo the job twice in less than 25k miles, yay for me.

Stay away from moog, its all hype and reputation for quality that one once there but is no longer. Both of my Maximas have had Moog and its always proven that itself to be ****ty.

 

I havent placed my order yet, thanx for the info.

 

Moog is very good. I sell them as well as 2 or 3 other lines and their failure rate is extremely low - and they have a great warranty. Besides, they're one of the largest oe suppliers, so it's possible if you buy from the stealer you're getting Moog anyways. It'll just cost more and come with less warranty.

 

My moog tierod ends were the same price as OEM, except the current OEM ones have outlasted the moogs I had. In fact I just did my wheel bearings and I checked the 1+ year old OEM inner and outer tie rods and they're just as tight as when new, TIGHTER than the moogs when they were new.

I'm just going based on personal experience here. You guys stick to your after market. I'll stick to my OEM Nissan which is this case was not made by moog
