Inner / Tie Rod Ends Brand Recommendations

Not to beat a dead horse but I recall reading at some point that you can use the larger OTRE from a Tacoma on our rigs. Anybody do this? Is there any benefit?

I vaguely remember reading that you have to use a tacoma lbj and you end up losing some steering degrees. https://www.toyota-4runner.org/2617406-post5.html

Thank you, I figured there was a catch otherwise you'd hear much more of it

Worthless mod that addressed zero known issues while creating entirely new ones.

Buy once cry once. There aren't any better alternatives to OEM. Lifetime warranties are for guys who enjoy spending a lifetime under a vehicle on jack stands. A new OEM steering rack comes with ITREs. At this point most 4Runners could use a new steering rack and I highly recommend going that direction.

I definitely plan to when I get around to the inners, even though it isn't leaking or causing problems the steering rack would be one of the very few things that hasn't been replaced at some point on my vehicle (however both inner and outer tie rods were serviced by the PO a couple times.) If I recall, they can be had for like $250 which really isn't all that bad, and could always keep the old one around since there's nothing really wrong with it. Currently though I'm not trying to spend that time and money - I just went wheeling this weekend and now my driver side OTRE is popping, and since I'm installing new UCAs this weekend figured might as well knock them out together :thumb3:

For what it’s worth, I replaced both my inners and outer with MOOG and haven’t had an issue. What I like about the MOOGs is the grease zerk on it. I’m convinced that most failures are due to dry/dirty joints, which the grease fitting eliminates...

I replaced mine inner tie rod with a napa.
