    Getting ready to replace my tie rod ends wondering if I should stick with oem or if I should go with a greaseable style

    If not OEM, make sure the after market ones are of good quality. But the OEM ones will last a long time

    That's what I was wondering if I do choose to go aftermarket I was looking into kryptonite death ones and they have a pretty good reputation but at the end of the day I would like to go oem being everything else I've replaced on the front end is oem

    Sealed like oem is better. The ones that come with a zerk usually have a shitty boot that won't hold in grease, so they put the zerk on there because they know it's going to leak. Better to just buy a quality part with a better designed boot so it won't leak.

    555 makes good stuff and it's made in Japan. Oem on a lot of Japanese cars
