I am looking to replace my left inner tie rod end. I am looking a purchasing the parts through Rockauto but i am unfamiliar with some brands on there. I would like to go with OEM or equivalent to OEM. They have some brands like Beck, Deeza, Moog, mevotech, RAYBESTOS and of course ACDelco. I would like to get the ACDELCO but I am confused on which one is for which. since i need to replace the inner tie rod end i was going to replace the outter tie rod as well since i have to take it off. Also if there is any DIY on how to do this with pictures or video that would be great. If someone help please help me out i would appreciate it!

I checked both front tie rods and i am able to wiggle bother tiers a little. I do not hear any noise but there is movement. Am i not suppose to have any movement? Does this mean i have to replace both driver and passenger inner tie rods?

Yup, sorry man. I swapped out the control arms on the rear hubs when I upgraded my coilovers because the stupid sway bar friggin sucks to take off. But I've never had to touch the front suspension components.

Hopefully someone else can help. Good luck

When checking for inner tie rod issues how are you suppose to check. I jack up one side of the car, the wheel i am checking should be off the ground and the opposite tire on the ground?
