Default LCA problem?

i just installed blox control arms and asr subframe but i wasnt able to get the right side on due to a stripped bolt. and also the tie rod i believe on the left side ripped(the rubber piece), how much do the tie rods go for usually? and im not even sure if thats what you call it? It connects to the lca and then to the sway bar. would i be better off going to the dealer? i just dont want to pay a lot of money where as if i can find it online for cheaper.

You're referring to the sway bar end links. Most likely with those POS control arms, you'll have to use POS adjustable end links to get it all bolted up.

Any recommendations on what kind of POS endlinks to get?

blox tends to make cheap knockoff parts, they are not like a name brand.

That doesn't mean much to me. How does that make their LCAs inferior?

Because the bushings are absolute garbage and the sway bar end link mount isn't properly designed.
