It seems that I need new tie rod ends, and plan to replace the rods as well. I wondered if anyone had any experience with the Tein's, the Moog's, or any other replacements/upgrades.
Phase2Motortrend sells Kazama Pillowball ends, which I'm curious about.

Depends what you want out of them and if teh price of kazuma's are worth it.
I have Tein inner and outter, though the feel is actually a little better that could be do simply to the fact that most people replace them when their old ones are pretty fooked.... meaning that anythig in decent shape woudl be an improvement.
However my Teins ARE very strong nad have proven themselves after smacking a curb and surviving somethign that the stock definetly would NOT have.
I think later on I will try to get the Kazuma ends since they work in conjunction with the Tein inners...

pillowball translates more through the driveline and back to you
so essentially the dampening force that the bushing provided is now gone.
its not going to kill you
full pillowball sus slammed to the floor is actually pretty smooth..stop being babies!!
I would just get OEM tie rod ends and put some washers on it but thats because i like to save money.
If you like bling bling you can get Kazama, but TEIN is just as good
no benefits to either..its the same thing, tie rod end with a spacer that screws into the steering rack. i fail tos ee where there is a heim joint involved there?
