Steering component questions
I'm going to be redoing my steering a some point this summer.
Everyone says buy the moog idler arm which I get.
But what about the pitman, tie rods and tie rod adjusting sleeves?
Should I go with moog for everything else or are there other brands that are just as good and cheaper? I'm going to be buying through Rock Auto.
Also I want to replace the ball joints. Any brand that is best?
I want parts that will last me many years so I'm willing to spend extra if need be.

All the moog stuff has grease zerks, and a design that flushes out the old stuff when you pump in new stuff. I'm quite happy with everything moog I bought, and it wasn't really any more expensive
as far as ball joints, I dunno. Technically the ball joints are non-replaceable and you are suposed to get all new control arms. My arms were a bit damaged so I got new ones from mazdatrix

I had tie rods that I bought from I think was autozone about 10 years ago on my other car and they had grease zerks. I don't know what brand they are though.
My curent car still has all the original parts and the car has 190k on it. The parts are shot to say the least.
