they look seriously tough.
a pair of the HD ECS ones is $104.95, and 1 OEM one is $89.95.
hit for the HD ECS ones?

The part price for a full tie rod and just the outer part is nearly the same
For example, ecstuning,
OE S4 tie rod end, $89.95,
OE S4 tie rod, complete assembly including end, $94.95
I did the entire units from worldimpex, PN 4B0 419 801 G, inner joints were fine in my case. Make sure your tie rod to steering rack boots are in good shape.

Probably :) IMO, the inner joint really shouldn't fail unless dirt got in there.
Could have just been defective, shrug!
