Well took the mismatched tie rod ends to NAPA and got the same counter guy, and showed them to him and he goes WTH totally agreed with me and pulled down another set, this time the new parts came down in two different boxes one yellow and fancy with logos the other in a plain white box (both of mine were in plain white boxes) however when we opened them up they looked mismatched just like mine, and the parts numbers are the same
here is another kicker though, both of the TREs come with Zirc fittings yet only one of them has a hole to screw it in, the other is the "zero" maintenance kind
NAPA Right Front - Tie Rod End Inner - $15.74 Part #ES443L why is this an "L" even the NAPA guy was confused
NAPA Left Front - Tie Rod End Inner - $16.64 Part #ES442L
I don't know what I'm going to do now, I may just spring for two matching MOOG ones and have an entire MOOG linkage, what you all think?
