Tie Rod Knuckles
Anyone else's worn out? Was replaced with my lift, i have about 13,000 on my new suspension.
Should I just replace with same ones or upgrade ?
... on another note I had a dream last night about the Skyjacker double quick disconnects, wow, i need a life huH?

do you mean your tie rod ends as in ball joints? if so, there's no way they should be worn out already and the only way you can change them out (at least with a factory setup) is to replace the entire tie-rod.

it's my opinion that when a oe part goes bad replace it with an aftermarket
You'll be better off since they are made better and higher quality
Wait till wayalife chimes in here, whatever he says is pretty much gospel.

ball joints yes .. sorry. Still learning the Jeep lingo!
Ya, they are going bad, before I make the drive or much more driving at all on the JK my mechanic advised replacing them. He was dumbfounded how firestone could have missed it on the alignment it got not even a two weeks ago.
So I have to replace the whole thing. Do I replace it with Rubicon Express or .... thanks for the help ahead of time guys.
