Default Front end bushings and Tie rod ends

Well I think its about time to replace them.

Iv'e read you burn the old bushings out then slide the new ones in? Or is that only for the prothane ones?
I've got somebody getting some parts for less than what the company paid for them, so what I get, is what I get, im not arguing haha.

The tie rod ends. Is the part that screws onto the tie rod and the ball joint part all in one or is that 2 different piece that need be ordered seperatly?

Thanks in advance.

The bushings are usually just replaced with a control arm but if you wan't to go urenthane then burn them bad boys out and get some Prothane bushings.

Tie rod ends -- two ends to some people
inner -- Connected to the rack and pinion
outer -- Connected to the knuckle.
both -- connected to each other and lock together with a jam nut.

Balljoint is connected to the bottom of the knucle and is it's pivot point between the control arm and knuckle.
