Are there any other options to the OEM EG Civic tie rods?

The problem is that my tie rods worn out very fast and I have to replace them.
Im searching for an option (spherical ors something like this) that is more reliable.

Any pideas, pictures or sources ?

 

what wear are you talking about ?

OEM are pretty much bulletproof.

 

Tie rods for me on the race car are a wear item. I always travel with a spare set (outer). OEM are the best around, period. However we still have to replace them about every other year.

That goes with Upper ball joints as well, however lower ball joints seem to last forever as long as you put reflective tape on the boots to keep the brakes from melting them!

 

Well, I also regards tie rods as a wear item on a racecar. I just wanted to know if someone gots other good ideas or options.

I´ll order a OEM set tomorrow but will keep my eyes open for more input.

 

Moog replacement parts look like something that should go on a tank. A lot more metal than stock, but I don't know that necessarily means they are more reliable.

 

I was just about to ask about Moog as an alternative to the OEM. I need to do mine within this year and I will do both inner and outer but I am not sure about Moog parts.

 

Consider this: if you are replacing them every year whether or not they're bad (preventative maintenance) then you don't need to worry about the best (unless you're outright breaking them in half). If you're looking for longevity then you need to get the best and OEM is the way to go. I have heard good things about MOOG but consider the preventative maintenance.

 

OEM are the best I think. Perhaps yours are exposed to too much heat. Consider heat shielding them if the boots show any sign of excess thermal stress. Also check geometry with car on a lift with the spring/damper out and run the suspension and wheel through it's range of motion. Perhaps changes to suspension geometry are causing excess angle on the tie rod ends.

 

moog have grease certs i just got a set outers for my race build is would consier them near the same quality as oem,
