tie rods on the impala dont last very long. At 60,ooo miles I had to replace mine on our 2003. Also the big doughnut bushing had to be replaced at around the same milleage. My replacement tie rods that were replaced at the gm dealer had grease fittings on them. With grease fittings they should last until the end life of your car.

well you cant go wrong with quality part's and i believe moog is the best if you can afford them ,and grease is a lot cheaper than new part's .ditto on grease fittings . i am a big fan on purge greasing joint's if they are not sealed .
