Took the car in for an alignment, Firestone said I needed new inner and outer tie rods - their alignment tech said the threaded part is seized. I tried to bust the rods loose, nope. So they aren’t pulling my leg.
Of course, OE Toyota is best - but $130x2 for the inners and $60 for the outers. The outers are reasonable against the aftermarket but a bit steep for an older car on the inners. I’m looking at the Turkish-made Delphi reboxes of Deeza, Moog’s too much of a crapshoot - I dunno if I’m getting a aftermarket Japanese(555 Sankei) or Korean(Central) part in that yellow and blue box. I know Deeza was held in regard here. Not going Mevotech or Chineseium. What’s the consensus on Turkish undercar stuff?
