I'm just not sure if there is a good aftermarket brand for inner and outer tie rod ends. That may even be an upgrade to OEM strength.

I'm ok with buying OEM but they are sooo much more $$$ than aftermarket.

Or should I stay away from aftermarket?

 

Purchased Moog inner/outer both sides and replaced. The control improved a lot and they've been great so far! =)

I went with Napa Chassis Part line on my 92 4Runner so far I am happy.

On my 2000 Tacoma I went with Toyota parts .

Toyota Ball joints on both.

Steering and front suspension parts you sure don`t want to go cheap.

 

I will agree with wyoming9.. you don't want to go cheap if you can help it.

However, when I did mine, my level of brokeness would not allow. Mine came from Autozone and I haven't died in a fiery crash... yet. So far, they have held up well.

If you end up doing the ball joints as well, don't get them from Autozone. They did not fit well, broke during install and ended up going back to the store.
