Opinions wanted: tie rod brands
I need to replace my tie rods. Prices are much different for Moog (Advance Auto) and Duralast (AutoZone). Any opinions out there on one or the other? I know a lot of you swear by Ford parts, but they must be gold plated from the price they quoted.

The Moog parts are what I use, they last the life of the truck.

The ford parts don't last long enough or you would not be replacing them.

The store brands are not worth crap, just go with the Moog.

What they said, x10. Store brands, no name brands etc are for used car dealers. They work long enough to pass inspection.

True, there probably are other quality brands out there, as a national brand MOOG is the way to go. NAPA has a good quality line of hard parts that I have used on occasion and TRW isn't bad either as a budget choice.
