I need some input guys.
What are your thoughts on this?
I might need to replace this.
Here is the link too. The price isn't that bad as well.

Your just replacing the outer tie rods ?? In that it takes like 2 mins, so I'd get these (inner and outer ) :

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-steering-tie-rod-assembly-front-s4-4b0419801g

Cheap have lifetime warranty.

I have them (came in fcp euro full control arm kit ) haven't had any issues with them :)

They also sell this brand :

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-vw-steering-tie-rod-assembly-front-4b0419801m

Both lifetime warranty and cheap as chips.

Since it's super easy to replace I'd try them. If you count the threads / measure you might be able to get away without having an alignment ( not recommended tho )

Karlyn tie Rods are shit. My friend ran them lasted 10k miles. His other friend ran them too and texted me saying they lasted 12k miles. I told them it was crap. OP GO WITH MEYLE OR LEMFORDER./ THREAD.

I received the cheapo versions with my fcp kit as well.....just replaced them with the meyle and the build quality is night and day. I'll never go with "economy" tie rods again.

Haha oh yeah i drove his car as well and the steering wheel felt loose as hell. It felt like a VW passat 2014 model to be exact. Then drove my car and i was like hell yeah. Tight steering.

FCP does offer lifetime warranty on their stuff which is [up]. But I dont want to use their warranty [eek]. I like [wrench] it 1 and forget about it. I rather pay some extra $$$$ for higher quality parts that will [race] instead of inferior parts that you have to [wrench] more often. My .02 cents on it.

they didn't last nearly long enough to justify the savings.

Thanks for the input guys. I usually stay on the oem side with parts,but I thought I would just ask. Wrenching one time and forget about is the way to go unless you received a bad apple from the batch. And yes, I'll do both as I'm in there.
