Default Deeza inner and outer tie rods

Browsing for some new inner and outer tie rods of my 00, on roack auto I see Deeza parts. never heard of them, did some googling
- All Deeza products are manufactured in ISO9001 or TS16949 quality certified high technology facilities in Turkey, Italy, Belgium and U.K. We do not put products Made in China, Taiwan or any other Far-Eastern country in our boxes.

38 bucks for an inner on rock auto. pretty good-way better than 108 CL price on sewell.
Then i put in the P/N on on ebay... some ebay seller has them fro 50% off, so got a pair of inners and outers for 60 bucks shipped!! I think mine are in good condition but for 60 bucks whole set...would be silly to not change them! What I like about them is the outers use a poly lock nut not a castle nut!

I forget but I think i'm running their outer TREs (greasable) without issue for the past 4-5 months.

what prompted you to change the tie rods? loose steering? just for routine maintenance?

i prefer a castle nut myself but that brand sounds like a good alternative to OE.

that random tie wear issue im having from my previous threads. Everything is right, all bushings good...dunno. Only thing that hasnt been changed by me or the PO are inner and outer tie rods, and for that price..fk it might as well. I sofned the damping on the shocks but i always switched to summer wheels at the same time, adn i ride lower so i know the toe is off from winter setup so i wasnt able to confirm anything.

i just got new tires on, swapping these inner and outer tie rods on, softer damping, align it and monitor.

I did mine when I redid the entire front end again, prefer greasable over sealed bearings.

old inner tie rods are pooched. coult actually feel an yin-out play but they were so sloppy and loose.
Bad news, omega auto from ebay sent me two driver side ones. the oem passener side has a longer knuckle housing. So, probably not goin to get it till end of the week. Sigh.
