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

[Nowlzy]

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.
