How are TRW tie rods?

[stealthtt24]

Anyone have any experience with them? I just went thru two outer tie rods in my Civic with the shitty Advance brand. I knew I should have gotten Moog. Anyways, I want to replace all the tie rods and ball joints in my GVR4 and I know TRW seems to make good ball joints. What about tie rods? Much cheaper than Moog and I can get 4 inner/outer tie rods for $125 to my door from Advance online before Sept 23rd.

I've never used them on my Galant, but I've used them (ball joints as well) on my S10 (notorious for BJ problems) and my Fiero with good luck. I've also gotten Moog on other cars as well. I didn't notice a quality difference between the two.

If there is a nod to moog over trw, it's a slight one. Ive used a lot of trw parts on my cars over the years & have had no issues with them.

Does trw stuff come in a black and blue box? If so I think I have used their stuff to and had good results. Not tie rods specifically, but tie rod ends and ball joints.

TRW is way better than the "OE" advance stuff. When I say way better I mean WAY better. It also has a limited lifetime replacement.

They used to be blue/white with TRW in red, they may have changed the packaging in the last few.

They seem to be on it when it comes to ball joints. I'll go ahead and make the purchase, thanks guys.
