i got a question, iv been confused about this since i needed to replace my tie rod ends
when you buy replacement tie rods, do they come with the tie rod ends or is it just the tie rod itself ?
someone answer this, thank you

it comes with both tie rods and tie rod ends correct ?
someone help me with this

There is an inner tie rod end (tie rod as you call it) that connects to the rack, and an outer tie rod end that connects to the knuckle. The ebay kit only contains the outers.

I recently did this with my 93 Civic hatch and I can tell you right now...it's best to get the inner and outer tie rods at the same time so you can save yourself the trouble of doing it twice. Besides that...you'll only need to make one trip to the alignment shop after you install them.

I got mine at NAPA...roughly $40 per side, ($18-20 per tie rod...inner and outer).

You'll need two number 1's (inner tie rods) and both number 23 & 26, (left and right outer tie rods that have the ball joints on them).

Just get an entire rebuilt steering rack. I replaced my outer tie rod ends some years ago, then later replaced the whole rack that came with the inner tie rods only. So I had to swap my relatively new outers over to the new rack.

Yes it's a PITA to replace the rack with the engine in the car (at least on a GS-R) but I was able to do it in my garage.

Patrick do you know where i could get one ?
cause i found the inner and outer tie rods/ends for 50 bucks. then axles for 50 bucks
& a rack&pinon for 80.. so which do you think would cost more ?

I am planning on doing the tie rods pretty soon, I might just buy a whole rack.

When you say rack & pinion, are you talking about the entire group of parts outlined as #2 above, or a specific part or parts?

I bought a complete rebuilt steering rack in 2007 from a company that uses all OEM Honda parts in their rebuilt units. It came with inner tie rods and was about $240 after core.
