imo they are too cheap.

hardrace make some with spherical bushings 225$
or get some 260 including shipping get you megan racing ones.

but they do have 12months warranty so it might be worth it.
but the bushing will fail if you give it an agressive start which is what happened to mine

stock replacements are like $50 for the pair

I got ebay ones here, been on the car for 5000 kms 6 months +

Same shit as your local auto store, they are still nice and tight. Everything is made in China these days. At the end of a day its just a ball joint...

got mine from the seller below.

Yep it does, from 92-00

just go normal spec tie rod ends. they are like $50 to 80 a pair.

the Hardrace cost $225, and only the bushing is slightly better and better looking.

not worth the 100+% extra cost.

Vaela Auto parts in WA, not sure if they have store in other state/

and dont forget to do a wheel alignment after changing the tie rod ends
