I would love to see a list of which of these aftermarket parts companies are reputable and which are not. If it were I, these tie rods would get returned. The problem is that most online parts houses are ready to take your money in one instant, but painfully slow and unwilling in many cases to return it after their bogus parts are returned to them. Lately, I find the local NAPA store much more reliable. They can even order most OEM parts and have them the following day.
