    Tie rod ends - genuine or road safe (after market?

    Hi Guys,

    Boot on my front drivers side tie rod end is leaking grease, so rather than messing around I thought id replace the tie rod ends.

    I see genuine for about 150$ ea online and then road safe aftermarket copy for $40 ea. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with aftermarket ones or if I should go genuine.

    You could probably just put a boot on it if it is not slack.

    at 4 times the price the OEM would want to be awesome!! Not sure it will out last 4 Roadsafe to be honest! If you are looking at that kind of coin then consider a Brand New aftermarket chromoly Tie Rod with new ends for the cost of 2 OEM ends!! No brainer really. Upgrade the whole arm mate.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
