I just realized that @Tonyrodz and @Onebad1983 signatures are WAY to similar. I'm getting confused on who's responding without looking at the avatars LOL

So after 1 hr they tell me they can't align it because it needs outer tie rods. Anyone have an opinion on Detroit Axle?Screenshot_20190903-153930_Amazon Shopping.jpg
Detroit Axle - Pair (2) Front Outer Tie Rod Ends Driver and Passenger Side for Cadillac Escalade Chevy Silverado 1500 2500 GMC Sierra 1500 2500 Tahoe Yukon XL 1500 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TFTJQWT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PfSBDb3E0E1MV
Or the MoogScreenshot_20190903-154045_Amazon Shopping.jpg
This is only 1 side.
Moog ES3493T Tie Rod End https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C59WHA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3gSBDbWPEJHJ3
Any other opinions?

I've not heard of Detroit Axle. The fact that they are half the price of Moog would give me pause, though. You usually get what you pay for with stuff like that. I'd either go with Moog or get some OEM AC Delco pieces.

I heard the AC Delco Advantage Line is terrible. True?

I usually go with the AC Delco "professional" which is supposed to be the OEM part. I've not tried the Advantage line, yet, but wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't great. If it was a choice of Moog or a less version of AC Delco that is not OEM I'd definitely go with Moog. Moog usually puts out good quality stuff with regard to steering and suspension components.

Don’t go with the lower end AC Delco OR lower end Moog parts. Buy either one’s more expensive parts. The low end line is there just to compete with the crap like Detroit Axle which you don’t want either. Don’t cheap out on stuff like this, the labor is most of the cost and you don’t want to pay to have it done twice.
