I decided to replace my tie rod ends with these R-Package Tie Rods because my rubber boots were torn and grease had leaked out. Plus, my NB1 had 115K miles on original tie rods. At first, I didn't expect much but to my surprise, these tie rods provided significant improvements. First, these helped reduce bump steer quite a bit. The car feels more planted to the ground even during hard acceleration and on rough roads. Second, these reduced the last bit of my 70-75 shimmy on the highway. This was probably due to the torn boot. I am so happy to eliminate the rest of the shimmy and worth it to upgrade to these tie rods by themselves. My car drives so smooth now.
If anyone has old tie rods with some age to them, go and replace them with these R-Package right now and see the improvements. DIY installation was quite easy with a ball joint removal tool. Totally worth it!
