Acura TSX Outer Tie Rods and Lower Ball Joint?

[maverickfhs]

For Acura TSX had this thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/tsx-suspension.395987/#post-7255747

From Rock Auto, planning to go with Delphi? Not seeing 555 as the option and not sure how long we will keep the car and OEM for ball join are $$$.

Appreciate any help around it.

I would get the (Japanese) Sankei 555 outer tie rod ends from Partsgeek and the Beck-Arnley lower ball joints from Rockauto. The photos on Rockauto show the Beck-Arnley part as being sourced from Sankei 555.

+1 The only thing is non OE 555 are not protected from corrosion, if you are in the rust belt and rust is a concern a quick spray with etch primer and epoxy paint will keep them looking good for a long time, don't forget to use never seize on the threads regardless of brand.

Delphi is probably OK to use, if you can't get Sankei 555 or CTR.

Any idea who sells CTR? Partsgeek?

Partsgeek only has the CTR upper ball joint for your TSX.
