ASTARPRO - 6pcs Front Tie Rod Ends Inner and Outer Complete Kit with Boots Compatible with 1996-2000 Honda Civic and Acura EL

Tie rods seam to hold up well so far but rubber boot is already cracked and about to Crack off after 3-4 months Update they are now shredded and definitely will need replacement. Decent kit for price but get better boots or please supplier get better boots for your product

I installed these on a 1996 Honda Civic LX. Everything fit as it should, and installation was fairly easy. Taking the old metal straps off the old boots was the hardest part. The kit came with plastic zip ties to secure the boots. I would replace the plastic ones with metal to ensure it stays sealed. The nuts on the inner tie rod ends are larger than OEM. I kept the OEM ones. The parts work well so far. I think it's an okay kit for the price. Time will tell how durable the parts are.

Inner and outer tie rods seemed decent in this kit. Dust boots totally different for my 1997 civic. This kit advertised for 1996-2000 civics which is false. Be prepared to buy boots from auto parts supplier. Still a good deal for the other parts.

I looked over dozens of these parts for sale on amazon. Some were "alloy" parts, no thanks. These however were quality steel parts that went together perfectly. My suggestion would be to remove the outer tie rod nut from the knuckle leaving the outer and inner toe rods connected. Then remove the furthest inner boot clamp, pull the boot back far enough to get the inner tie rod off the steering rack. You're then left with the inner and out rods still connected. Then measure the length of the old set up so you can then build the new setup to the same length as the old one. Install boots as required as you build the new setup and then reinstall in reverse. Not hard, but will save you time so you don't forget a boot like I did. Good luck!!

The other tie rod ends come with a nipple that you need to screw in it looks like it was prefilled but just to be safe get one I ended up replacing those but everything else is really good quality and I replaced because I didn't have a grease gun
