Yup, Inner Tie rod on passenger side is on it's way out. Most likely a result of doing autox on 16yr old car....Anyway I figure it's a good time to do an upgrade since the one is bad...I'm not looking to pay a ridiculous price though....I want good qaulity with a decent price and reliability. Suggestions?

I upgraded to SPL outer tie rods and Z32 inner tie rods. They are pretty beefy. I think I spent a little over $200.

Do you have any adjustability with them or is it mainly just like stock only beefier....I know the JIC ones and Kazama's are adjustable...Did you notice anything significant when you installed them (besides being bigger)?

i have the tein, they are thicker than stock, but use a stock type ball joint outter rod, but you should never have a problem with these bending unless you get into an accident. If you want adjustability, you have to dish out for the ones you mentioned, the spl ones, kazama, jic etc. I have just learned to deal with the bump steer, which isn't too bad imo.

The Tein's seem to be the way to go as far as quality for a decent price

If you plan on lowering, you might want to consider SPL. Their tie rods are adjustable for bump steer. This can be an issue while lowering.
