Default changing outer tie rod suggestions

I will be changing my outer tie rods soon and have a question. When checking Rockauto's website I noticed that they sell several different brands. I have used Moog before but the website lists a brand called Dezzo? I think or at least something like that. It claims to be stronger and greaseable. Which brand should I get to replace mine with?

I'd prefer greasable replacements over sealed if that makes any difference.

+1 for Moog. Greasable and tough. Well worth the extra few bucks.

I bought moogs @ advance auto that are NOT greasable...but lifetime warranty makes up for it IMO....pay for it once and free forever after that....

hmm i didnt know that they made non greasable ones.. everything ive worked on was older trucks until this one. I just remember all the moog stuff coming with a greasenipple or else a plug you you can choose what you wanna put in.

moog has both greasable and non. i have greasable moog balljoints, and was just looking at a set up moog tie rod ends that arent greaseable. just be sure to verify before you buy.
