Whats a good napa alternative to factory tie rod ends on my L345dt? What have others done to replace? Mine are pretty sloppy and are stupid expensive in oem.

For $16 each with free shipping it may be worth ordering one to try... Quite a difference in price.

I did some measuring of an existing tie rod end and found a moog part that may work. Its the taper thats the issue. So I ordered one. $22 on amazon so ill give that a try.
