Default Tie rod ends

Need to order these from L8. Do you guys replace the rods as well or just the ends?

I bought those from L8 but found that my OEM (I assume it was original) tie rod had one end that was crimped after it was threaded in so it wasn’t coming out. I didn’t want to replace only one joint so I bought the complete tie rod/drag link set.

I did the same as @Red5 but went with the Terrafirma set. If anyone else goes this route I'd strongly suggest you clear coat the whole set and tie rods.

Just replaced the track rod from lk8. I won't be doing any serious off roaming so went with the stock replacement. Mine were probably original so the crimped end made it easy to justify the whole rod with both ends. Also replaced the dampener as it looked crusty af.

sooooo much smoother driving now.
