My question is in regards to the tie rods. Am I better off to buy the entire rod end subassembly vs just tie rod ends? subassembly is cheaper than the end. New joint, etc. I’m assuming that’s what I would want
I tried talking to a parts dept to break down the difference between the two and they were trying to tell me tie rods have no joints and the lca is the only joint and tie rod only has a castle nut and cotter pin

 

yea just get the whole new end. 45047-09260, should be around $80. it's just a metal bar with a ball joint on the end. coachbuilder makes heavy duty ones if you want to spend three times the price.

 

So what would be in the sub assembly 45046-29195 vs just the end?
