hello folks, so im going to be getting new tie rod ends, but im confused to why some are bent and some are straight. when i search online it shows the bent and the straight ones fit my 2004 honda accord lx 2.4. now i was wondering do i have to put the same shape ones that are on my car, even though it shows they are both compatible or they both interchangeable?
I’d call up your local Honda dealer with your VIN & ask them for the correct part number, which will fit your vehicle.
Then get the ones which have a matching part number/design.
How about this?

Doesn’t your local auto parts store have any available options?
Wow thank you I don't know why I couldn't see them. I see they are really cheap which makes me skeptical but I'll order the Moog ones and hope they work.
No worries. That’s the advantage of buying mass market vehicles. If you wanted expensive spares, you should’ve bought a Mercedes or BMW moneypit..
Rock Auto, Parts Geek, AutoZone, O'Reilley's, NAPA, Advance Auto. Find ones with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and keep the receipt. Never buy anything of importance from Amazon.
Still need help. I have a 2004 honda accord lx 4 cylinder engine. I have been trying to find good tie rod ends but cant. I seen some on amazon with one good review had 5 stars but they were only like 50 bucks for the whole set. Seems a bit low and dont want to get the cheapest parts. Any idea where i can get some decent quality ones and maybe help me with what brands are good.
