The tie rods arrived well packaged and on time. The tie rods themselves are built solid. I compared the Apex Chassis tie rods to the original equipment and I was happy with my choice of purchase. I believe these tie rods may outlast the vehicle my son and I installed them on. The installation instructions were very clear and easy to understand/follow; made the installation easy! We were able to take the correct measurements of the original equipment and install the new, matching as close as possible the same measurements. Once the new tie rods were installed, we took the vehicle in for an alignment. Everything turned out exactly how we hoped, the vehicle steers perfectly. It is my son’s car and he and I are very pleased with the Apex Chassis tie rods! Thank you.
