Looking for inner and outer tie rods

[AhmedAr]

Hey guys,

I'm tring to source good inner and outer tie rods for both the front and rear. Dealer wanted my organs, and the only place I could find moog tie rods (outers only) was on amazon.ca but while similarly expensive (but better), they said it would take a month to come...

I will have to check Canadian Tire as I was told their "nascar line" is Moog rebranded... not sure how much.

Any other suggestions?

Looking for tie rods to install alongside the coilovers, swaybars and endlinks I'm waiting to put on... then get an alignment and corner balancing... but can't do any of it until I find tie rods

Welcom to the forum AhmedAr, you can get Moog at Carquest and probably other local autoparts store. Keep your invoice they have a life time garanty + most of the outer tie rods can be lubricated to expend life .

Rockauto.com is usually pretty amazing at OEM or OEM like replacements. Even with shipping and duties usually orders of magnitude cheaper than retail here. If you need one tomorrow carquest as above or Napa may have them.

Have a look. Tie rods they should have for sure.

I got quotes from Canadian tire, each is this:

View media item 408
But he couldn't show me rears, only this showed up, rears have inners and outers too... and they are worn out bad (car unstable -- changing alignment yikes)

The parts guy told me to check partsource or napa or oakville discount parts (speers close to princess auto or part source or something)? Sigh... in the US its all cheaper

Oh wow rockauto DOES have amazing prices in comparison! I just checked. BUT still can't show 'rears'.... which category would I look for the rears they are really bad and need to replace asap.

I'm still having trouble finding the rear inner and outers even on rockauto... it doesn't seem to be listed..

Front inner and outer tie rod ends from moogs and energy suspension polyurethane boots with shipping and duties totals to 326.85CAD... that's only the fronts... Still better than whatever else I found though...

It really helps if you know the GM Part no and search by it. Rockauto often does not list parts in the proper category. You can search by part no and order directly.

Your part no should be listed here:
REAR SUSPENSION for 2000 Chevrolet Corvette

A careful warning I have found about RockAuto....
They sell 3-4 levels of quality and that is reflected in their pricing.
As long as you know what quality you are buying it is only then you can compare pricing.
I recently needed front bearing assemblies for my Monte SS.... Prices varied from $58 to $300...!
Some made off shore, some in Europe and some in the US...
Some with ABS sensors, some without.
Be careful.

You're right, but I knew I wanted moog problem solver inners and outers for the front

88955489 is for inners and 88955488 for outers, but rockauto doesn't carry them :/

Looking at prices on amazon.ca for instance... the inners are like 100CAD each which is ridiculous... and outers were something stupid like 80USD each... for which I can get baer adjustable rod ended tie rods (they go for 170USD on summitracing).

Sigh...

I am waiting on the fronts to arrive in the mail they were shipped, but still didn't order anything for the rear... it's the last bit I need.

Wow! Who knew that finding rear tie rods for the C5 would be so difficult and expensive!!!! I'll be bugging you about where to get them when it comes time for me to replace mine!
