Currie just came out with a re-design of their tie rod. The jury is our on how well they will hold up, hopefully, better than the previous dsign.

I spent $800 on Currie's tie-rod and drag link, and they are extremely poor quality and design. Supposedly they have re-designed to address their product deficiencies (rust, torn boots, clamp design, weak main rod) just this last couple of months, but why take your chances that they got things right this time around - I'd look elsewhere for a proven quality product.

Rock Krawler all the way.
I'm using the Moog ends with no problem but there have been a few guys that had issues with the threads on those ends. Guess there was a bad batch here and there.

I had to send my first set of Moog's back. The shafts were very bent. The second set looks good, but I haven't tried to install them, yet (OEM tie rod is fine). I have the RK aluminum bar sitting in the garage.

A big X2 on this. I did the same thing and was very very dissappointed by the currie stuff...guess who has an RK tie-rod and draglink coming...this guy I'm pretty confident the RK stuff will do the job for me.
