Tie Rod End Popping

[liftedbrigade]

So I installed new OEM ball joints and MOOG Outter Tie rods (I wasn't planning on replacing these and with christmas don't have the money to order from dealer or wait for online shipping. They were find for the first day, and now they are popping. I'm wondering if it could be my inners rather then outter?

Any thoughts?

It could be your inners. Jack up the wheel and feel for which has play in it. Should be pretty easy to tell.

Thanks.

How do you tell any play apart? As in whether its a bad tie rod end or inner, or ball joint. I mean I have new ball joints, but the Moog tie rod ends worry me.

It'd be easier with 2 people. One to move the wheel back and forth while someone else inspects which socket has play.
