I have that moog joint. It's been on for 120k km now. It's greasable. That helps

That thuren is very nice! But its the price of 3 Moogs... plus shipping, and shipping to canada from the us is priced like your shit has to travel halfway accross the planet. I dont want to buy junk but i still need to feed the kids this month

Well shipping to Canada sometimes is the same as shipping halfway across the world...
The Napa parts are pretty nice, I went with Napa Premiums and it was $250 for the entire tie rod assembly. It was something like $80 for the drivers side tie rod end I think. Greaseable also, and lifetime warranty.

If I remember correctly the napa ones are moog or Dana. Lifetime replacement warranty. Keep em greased and they will warranty them. Napa does a lot of 'rebranding' of products. Like wagner lighting. Sold as a Wagner but is a Phillips bulb. It happens.
The moog tie rod ends are decent. It's hard to justify the cost of a full thuren or even emf setup. But they are so bad ass.
I think there are only 3 companies that make chassis parts. Trw moog and Dana. And they also make them for the oems.
