Default Moog Tie Rods, To Grease or Not to Grease!

That is the question I'd like to ask today. I've been looking at a Moog EV462 Front Right inner tie rod and I've seen many people on here say to grease that part. However, I can't seem to find a greaseable version of the part! Should I get the non-greaseable part? Does it make a big difference?

Thanks guys for all your help.

either way is fine. the grease fitting outters is all I have ever seen and i guess it extends life of the part but honestly to me it does not matter to me. they might mean grease/anti seize the inner where the outter threads on so it does not freeze up over time.

Inners aren't greasable like the outers. You should put a small amount of anti-seize on the threads for future alignment adjustment. If the outers have a grease fitting you should grease them every time you change your oil as they will last longer and stay tighter. This goes for sway bar bushings, u joints, etc.
