Default 07' 1500 Tie Rod Ends

Hey guys, Ive got a 07' 1500 4x4 Big Horny QC with about 30,200 miles on it. Currently the stock 20" rims and tires, suspension, etc....I just had it in the other day for an oil change and tire rotation at the local dealership, and during their inspection they found that both outer tie rod ends are loose. I had them replaced already at about 25,000 miles and ive never really taken it off road so i was a bit surprised to say the least... As Ive come to understand, this is a known problem with these trucks anyway.

Any recommendations on aftermarket, greaseable replacements would be very much appreciated!! Thx

The Mopar tie rod ends are not the best quality you'll find and the fact that they are NOT greasable makes failure inevitable. You'll spend WAY less on a set of Moogs and they have grease nipples. They also changed the tie rod ends on the '07s for some reason and they seem even MORE prone to failure. When buying, buy SPECIFICALLY for an '07 1500 4x4 for proper fit, the pre-'07s won't fit.

The single best solution is to purchase the inner and outer Moogs, but it's also the costliest...
