What do you guys recommend for outer tie-rods? I just found out one of mine needs replacing, so I'm going to do both to be safe. Rockauto has Moog and ACDelco for about $3 difference, but the delcos are "in outlying warehouse." I would think that they're both good quality, but figured I would ask

I've used Moog parts for years on my cars, never had any problems.

Ok, thanks guys for the quick responses. Also, I was going to pick up sway bar bushings as well. What's the best way to figure out what diameter sway bar I have if I don't have access to a micrometer? Note that I have the stock sway bar for a '99 GT.

my outer tierods always seem to seize to the inner tie rod. hope yours come off. both my outers are loose. just changed oil the other day and found out. probably ball joints too. at least control arm bushings look ok.

I run the delco tie rods. They have been fine so far. This thread should help you out on the sway bar size.
