Default Re: Correct Tie Rod End Boots

The repros that I bought about 18 months ago from Ricks on their "correct" tie rod is close, in that the shape is VERY close to correct. When installed and compressed you would have to know what you were looking at to tell it from an original. The shape of the top where the stud comes through has the 2 concentric rings with the "trough", however it does not have the part number molded into it.
