I put on Meyle brand tie rods and ball joints between Christmas and New Years last year (2005/6) and they are crap! The allignment has never been right - it goes back and forth as if there is play in something somewhere and last weekend I noticed that the tie rod boots (like little ball-joints) are cracking. Time to buy better parts!

It's really frustrating because I spent the time and the money to "do it right" or so I thought. I removed the motor, trans, front suspension and subframe and replaced EVERYTHING - CORRECTLY... If I were U I'd stay away from that brand (Meyle)

FWIW....

I'll back that up... I've had my allignment checked twice and it's the parts that have play in them not the allignment.

MEYLE SUX!

I just bought. My parts guy said it's a german company, older than the ones mentioned. I've never heard of them before so I was a little nervous. I wanted Meyle, but I'm glad I didn't buy them. I still have some play and wandering. Could be the tires (6 years old) or things going on. I know I also need new rear subframe bushings that I think can cause wandering.

If you want me to call my parts guy and ask what brand I bought, I will.

I'll go with Moog. Thanks people.

Esty, I will give that person a shot

bav auto and Ireland sell whole assemblies (40 and 42) respectively, cheaper than you can buy new ends.
