Tie Rods

[MONKEYSOCKS]

Apparently I need new tie rods. Just seeing if I should go for oem or moog. Any suggestions welcome.

MOOG are fine. What car?

350z gt4. When you say fine, do they not last as long as oem?

Yes, MOOG is the supplier for NASCAR:

They're OEM+ parts, better engineered than OEM, see photos:

Okay mate,, appreciate that. I'll try and get it sorted at the end of the month.

Sooooo I fitted moog inner & outer tie rods in January. Had a z1 diff brace fitted in March and noticed that the outer tie rods were heavily rusted, more so than the oem ones I replaced? I don't live near the sea and the car is garaged. No other car parts I've fitted have rusted like that. 

 

Is this an issue anyone else has had? Do I need to replace them with oem ones or do they need stripping and repainting? 

 

Don't want it getting worse obviously.
