Just saw them on rockauto.com. They are $27 each. Wondering if anybody has used them. First greasable outer tie rod end for the KJ I've seen.

Running the greaseable ones from NAPA. Not sure what company makes them. About $45 each.

Edit: Forget to mention that they have a lifetime warranty.

I see that they are NOT covered by warranty if used off road.

Warranty not withstanding, they still gotta be better than stock ones.

Disagreed.

How can they warranty something if it's taken in water?

Besides...how often do you REALLY think you're gonna get things like that warrantied?

Glad my Napa stuff is covered no matter what,never ever had a issue with a warranty item getting swapped at Napa or CarQuest.

how can they really determine a failure was from taking you vehicle off-road. From the wording that Terry put up it almost seems they are wording it for strictly off-road vehicles. As in those used for competition.

It the thing fails....just tell them you don't off-road it. Most people dont think KJs go off-road any way. Lets be honest...they're not really jeeps :lol:

well they're warrantied during 'normal service life period' and not warrantied against normal or uneven wear

theyre just warrantied for defects in materials and workmanship
