Your steering rack will accept any type of OEM or aftermarket inner tie-rod as long as it is for that particular car. Some outer tie-rods will only fit certain inner tie-rods though.

are there any other certain fitmants that the outer rods goes with besides the inner? and does the leaking greese pose any threat?

To tell you the truth I don't know about the leaking boots. It can't be good though. Mine were separated so I got new ones when I changed the tie-rods out.
