Default just wanted to verify that the ECS tie rod ends are what i need

the dealer couldn't give me a proper alignment because "my tie rods are seized" the dealer was going to charge me like 250-300 for the parts.

i don't know a whole lot about tie rods, but if i order the "OE heavy duty tie rod ends" from ECS, will this properly replace whatever has seized?

(i'm having an independent mechanic do the work... just want to be sure i get the right part.)

Default I just had to do the samething and needed the inner and outer parts, not just outer . . .

It's like $95 from ECS - GREAT SERVICE!
