They are the correct ones. and I'm not sure what people are talking about with the whole "bladder" thing. The bladder is the boot as far as I'm concerned (the part that fills up with grease). I don't know of a different style of tie rod end that is either a bladder or a zerk....Someone post up a pic if so. Once you install the end, screw the fitting into it and pump a couple/three good squirts into it, you will see the boot expand. Fill it enough that you can still squeeze it a little bit, but don't overfill it to the point where the rubber is solid, or grease starts coming out of it. It's not rocket science.

You will be able to move tie rod ends by hand easier than ball joints. Ball joints are a little tougher to move by hand but you can still do it.
