good brand of tie rod ends for F-250?
Hi all,
have a friend with a 4WD F-250, not sure of year, she was told she needed new tie rod ends. Looking for opinions on a quality brand - in the past I was under the impression that Moog was always good and reliable but based on some comments on one of the Jeep groups that I follow it sounds like that may no longer be the case - apparently the general opinion of the newer Moog ball joints for Jeeps is not good. If this were your truck and you were planning on keeping it a while what would you recommend? thanks, Nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Because vehicle is an hour's drive away; trying to do my homework before doing so so we can order parts right away on determining what *is* needed. > or even, if you're trying to impress a female of whatever species you > might be, why don't you check the other joints of the vehicle because, > you know, sometimes /all/ the freakin' joints are worn if the tie rods are? Um, she's married... you know, some of us actually do interact with other people and try to help them out because we like them, not because we want something from them? Not like I'd expect a socially retarded individual like yourself to understand that. > or is this simply a jawbone exercise right up there with your trunk > organizer? > You know, if you're just going to sit there and wait for me to post something so you have an opportunity to post a rude, unhelpful response, you could probably find something more productive to do with your time. Now if anyone has an opinion on good suspension/steering parts brands, I'd like to hear it! nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

He calls back, and I tell him a guy is asking for advice on 4WD F-250. Son says "What year?" I look, and the guy hasn't even said what year. Then my son starts telling me about all the differences. Dana, links blah, blah, blah. So I cut him short. I don't want to hear the advice, because I don't know the year. Waste of time. Then I remembered this isn't the first time this guy asked a question without required info. Anyway, could have got more info, but that just ain't happening. Moog for sure. Something about not cheaping out and replace the rods too. And something about a zerk on the passenger side. But I really quit paying attention early when he said "What year?" |

Friend called and said truck failed state safety inspection because both outer tie rod ends had too much play. Wanted to know if I could help. That's all I know (yet.) I haven't physically seen the truck (yet.) I did look up f*rd tie rod ends for a 2007, not sure if that is the exact year or not, but I know it's a powerstroke 4wd. The F*rd ends were ludicrously expensive. She asked if there was a quality replacement that wasn't bargain basement, but was more reasonably priced than Ford. My response 10 years ago would have been "Moog or TRW" but I would like to know if that is still true today, as I've heard information to the contrary. That is what I know at this time. If more information is required to properly answer the question, let me know what exact information is needed and I will ask for it. If you are just going to snipe, troll, and act like an antisocial retard, **** you and **** off. n -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

[assuming they're even needed.] that's one line, easily answered. but you didn't say that. instead, you blather about "your friend", their sex, jeep, and psychic diagnosis which are all completely ****ing irrelevant. even more so if you dags. but to make this torture worse, not only do you not have a filter that allows you to get to the point on any damned initial question, you're incapable of getting there even after repeated subsequent cattle-prodding. conclusion: you're just unbelievably unspeakably retarded - not for being stooooopid, but for NOT keeping your stoooooopidity to yourself. > > That is what I know at this time.

I wouldn't say "low cost" but I'm wondering if there's anything under the $200/piece price point that is acceptable quality. I'm impressed that it only took four or five posts to get that through your thick skull. Your reading comprehension skills are improving! You get a gold star for the day. Unfortunately, you haven't actually *answered* the question. Even more unfortunately for the rest of us, you persist in responding even when you have nothing to say. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
