It is foolish to replace any front end part with a non-greasable part (OEM style).

i think they would be worth it, a little bit of grease goes a long way.

It's the right way to go.

I have them. They have great customer service too. One of mine had a small slit in the boot when I got it. But it wasn't all the way through so I used it. It bust on the first drive. So I called them up and they sent me a new one.

But I still using it, and have the new as a spare. I just sealed it up with duct tape. lol

Discount.

Yup, I run em. I can't keep tie rods on my truck though, I have my torsion bars cranked so much that it puts the tie rod at a bad angle and rips the boot, never fails,a bout 5k miles after I change them they break...OH well...just another one of those "things". They don't go bad for a while after the boot has broken, I just keep them greased up real well.
