Tie rod end question

So today after all the ice melted off of my truck i realized that i had torn my driver side tie rod boot. before i ordered, i just wanted to make sure this will work as a replacement or if this is something i should go OEM.

anybody?

 

I wouldn't have any issue ordering those tie rod ends.

 

(Those are what I ordered for my truck)

 

I replaced one of mine with OEM, P/N 45046-09340. Twice as much as MOOG but it fits.

 

yeah.... id rather spend the 40 bucks on an OEM one from toyota for that part.... its kind of important!

 

always had good luck with moog.

 

Didn't you say you needed the rubber boot, not the tie rod end???

 

yea but i figured it would be easier to just replace the end. i have never done it before so im trying to figure every thing out. is it easy to just replace the boot? plus i liked the fact the the Moog parts come with a grease fitting.

 

As for the boot itself(which I need as well ) the boor is held on by 2 SS band clamps. You need a special tool to cinch the new band clamps, but I've used these same type of clamps on residential plumbing. Go buy the tool at Home Depot and return it. As for the tie rod ends themselves, they aren't too hard to change with the right tools. Have a source of heat ready to warm up the sleeves btw.
