so I have a ucf10. So what's bad? The tie rods. Inner on left side and outer on right side. So what's the question you ask? Well I actualy have 2 questions.

(1) Who makes the best inner tie rods?
(2) Who makes the best outer tie rods?

I know moog made the best ones for my 02 eclipse GT. But I'm not woried about that car. What's great for one type of car isn't always best for a different type of car.

And yes I'm just gona replace both inner and outer on both sides.

 

oem lexus is the best for these cars.

 

About how much should I expect to spend on OEM tie rods?

 

Avoid any Made in China; poor quality rubber used in the boots lasts about 3 years. I'd want Made in Japan or USA.

pardon my noob-ish question, but how do you know your tie rods are bad, other than looking at the ball joint? do you check for play?

 

I think he is in for a challenge...

 

Yep.. had play in both wheels since I bought the car a few months ago but I can drive it fine so I've been putting it off. I already took it to a shop to gerintee that is the ishue and the only ishue. Tie rods is the only problem like I figured. I'm. Replacing the tie rods myself so that's why I'm asking who makes the best ones. Working on a car is of no ishue to me. Infact, cranking a wrench on a car is relaxing to me. I plan on doing several fix's/upgrades at once cuz I don't have lots of time to put my flagship under the knife every other week.

 

I hope you solve all yours ishues.
