Default best place to buy tie rod?

I'm looking to buy the inner, and 2 outter tie rods, and I checked the faq and went on cheaphonda parts, searched tie rod and nothing showed up. I heard a site called MOOG has really good quality stuff, but having difficulty as to how to purchase the stuff…
So I went on autozone web and they sell the outter ones at 20 each, and inner at 25, but from the pics it doesn't look like the bushing or the boot is included.
Was just wondering if the autozone ones are good quality?

I bought a Moog replacement on eBay. I think it was about $27 for the outer tire rod shipped. Try that.

Autozone is usually pretty questionable. I know their axles are known to just suck, but I haven't had any issues with the rest of their parts.

On ebay should I stay away from the cheap sets? Theres a full set of 2 inner and 2 outter tie rods for 30.

Are they flashy? No name brand?
The answer to those questions is the answer to yours. (I'd stray away from them)
Moog is a top notch OE replacement.
In my eyes there is really only 3 options: Top notch replacement (Moog for example), OEM (Honda), sub par part and sell it so it's someone else's problem.

Lol. Guess I'll go with moog. What grease substance do i use to lubricate the bushings and the boot? Also what is the boot for the inner tie rod called? Is it a steering boot
