Anyone here have any luck running these cheaper turbo tie rod kits? I'm pretty sure they are made by Uro, cost is around 120, The bird site say's "buyer beware cheap ones will result in death by fiery flame ball" Is the quality absolute crap?

QUOTE(broomhandle @ Sep 15 2011, 12:23 PM)  this is a Lemforeder: 15.00 bucks. and its the same part number as the turbo tie. i was going to order some, but just want to make sure..... That's just the tie-rod end, not the whole thing. The most important part of the turbo tie-rods is the non-rubber connection to the rack. Which is not part of the end pictured above.
