Hello I recently bought an 05 1500 4x2 with about 60k on the clock I had the suspension inspected and turns out my inner tie rods are shot, I know they come assembled as part if the rack assembly. My question is should I spend extra and replace them with MOOG inner tie rods or are O.E.M. good enough??

I'm going OEM on the rack unless someone can point me to a better unit also doing the outer tie rods MOOG while it's taken apart.

Should I go with standard or some problem solver outers???

One more newb question how much ATF+4 will I need to fill up the pump afterwards??

One last question what's the best place $$$ to order an OEM rack??

Thanks in advance.

 

Bump.....

 

OEM tie rods are NOT good enough, stupid things are not greasable. Get you some Moogs.

Ain't needed a rack for a Ram yet, so I dunno what's out there beside the dealer for them. I have bought a couple re-builts from Advanced for other vehicles though that were solid...

 

Thanks, actually thinking about going rebuilt on the rack unit. But also wondering if It would be wise to switch out the new inner tie rods that come with the new unit for some Moog inner tie rods or just do the outers??

Also the best price I've seen on a new OEM rack is about 548$ before core from my local dealer compared to 200$ for a re-manufactured unit.
it's quite a difference in price just wondering about quality??
Here's a couple pics of the new rig

 

what size tires are those?

 

35x12.50xR18
