I need some information about tie rod end construction

I agree, but finding quality parts these days, man.....
Chineesium parts make me wretch. Are Moog parts still made in America? It's veritable crisis in auto parts these days. Don't get me started! I once returned a crank sensor 3 times. Finally got smart and ordered a Mopar brand.

There's a whole school of thought that says if your OEM parts are still good... use them, even if they have some looseness. They will far outlast the cheap crap sold today.
