Well, it seems my inner/outer tie rods are shot and I have been on the net searching for the past few days to figure which fits my needs. Car is mostly daily with sparse auto-x. Did some searching and I noted a few things:

1) It seems the aftermarket ones favour drift setup of having adjustability in mainly steering angle2) The after market ones are mostly thicker (I think 14mm, but not sure, for most)3) The S14 can be interchanged with the S13 but not vica versa4) Not all aftermarket outer ends are compatible with the inner (rods) threads.

Now, with all these, I havent come a good conlusion. The car is definately not going to see any drifting anytime soon (if ever) so I dont think I need the adjustability of the steering angle. But, at the same time, most of the replacement versions (quality ones atleast) are just a few dollars less, so why not spring the extra cash for something reinforced (aftermarket) which I wont be worrying abot for a while??

Any recommendations from you folks?? I need to get em in here by the end of the week to install

get some tein ones. they are better than stock but nothing hardcore. they do come with spacers but u dont have to use them. i paid 150 a few years ago and they have most likely gone down.

I replaced mine with Teins as well. I have had no problems with them, although my car still needs an alignment.

Hey white, I sent you an email about your SP2 exhaust. Whats the deal with it?? Send me an email to [email protected] with all the requisite info. Thanks

Yeah, it seems thats the answer I have been getting. I actallu, seccetly decided with the tein set (or moog) but just wanted to have some sort of reassurance really.

Go with spl. They have a wide range of bumpsteer adjustment, and do nothing to steering angle unless you buy the spacers.
