My car has 50k miles and my tie rods are shot, probably due to lowering so I was just wondering if anyone knows if there are other companies that supply tie rods that are better than stock if not stock is best? Anyone can chime in. And another thing is while I'm under there I might as well replace the ball joints as well since they have lot of play and making some noise as well so what are YALLS thoughts on other ball joints other than stock or should I just use stock ball joints.
