Does anyone know of an aftermarket company that offers good tie rods. I've been using moogs but within a little less than a year they will not hold grease and the joint will become very loose. Wasn't sure if anyone knew of a car that I could instead use to get custom tie rods off of that would fit up to the rack & pinion. I know the standard thread size for the for the rack & pinion side is M16 x 1.5. Someone please help me!!!!

You can replace the zerk fitting if that's the problem, is it already loose / worn out?
How often do you grease it? I'm kinda thinking you blew out the seal when you greased it causing debits to get in there & clog up the zerk.
I don't think the oe ones even have a zerk on them so they probably don't need to be greased very often.

Buy oem ones. It'll be expensive, but they'll last 10 years. In my experience, no aftermarket company produces parts that are even close to oem quality.

The seal is not blown out but yet grease is not retained. Also oe will not be as reliable for track use. I just need info on an aftermarket tie rod that is stronger and more reactive. I have wanted tein but they only design them for nissans and none of those have the same thread size on the rack & pinion side
