Are these tie rods shot? Also looking for new sway bar + end links
My end links are gone, so I picked up some brand from AutoZone, but was wondering if I shouldn't just shell out the money to get a better sway bar and end links? Any suggestions?
Also, here are pics of my tie rods, are they gone? Should I replace them as well?

If you're not racing and have stock suspension, you don't need different endlinks. The adjustable ones are adjustable to adapt to changes in suspension geometry.
That tie-rod boot is cracked, so yeah I think it's time to replace it.

I do AutoX and probably some track days but nothing too extreme. Do you think I should replace inners and outers for the tie rods?

Attached is the end links. Also, I wasn't sure where the inner is shown / outer starts for tie rods, and wasn't sure if I could see this from just the wheel well or not.

As far as end links get a set of Moog ones. They are much stiffer than the stock ones and way cheaper than the "racer" aftermarket ones. The rod that connects the ends on the stock unit is 5/16" diameter, The Moog parts are 1/2". They are also greasable unlike the stockers.
Part #'s for the front are K80157 & K801158. Rear is the same for both sides and is part # K750133.
You can get the set of four off amazon for $85.
