    Hello all,

    I need to replace my tie rods (inner, outer, lefty, righty). Dealers are very proud of their OEM parts and want over 400 bucks for them. Does anyone have a cheaper source for OEM, or good aftermarket options that have worked for them?

    Thanks,
    -SR

    thanks for the info. Yes, 6 lug. What about the proforged for the outers? I've read they have a better boot design than the moogs, similar price...

    Also I cant find the spicers on rock auto, any guidance, please?
