Front tie rod bushing....

Has anyone had to replace one of these? If so, did you go factory or use one of the universal polyurethane ones like from Energy Suspension Parts? Here’s a pic of mine. I’ve halfway tried to pull it back over the joint but was afraid of tearing it.

I have done both.

Hmmm. interesting... I may do that after I get this replaced. Thx!

Ok, did you prefer the OEM over the universal, or which one seemed to last the best? Also, is it much of a job to replace?

I can't say there was much difference in either.
