Stock/turbo tie rods?

[michaelw]

How can you tell if you have stock or upgraded turbo tie rod ends? I checked the archives and could not find that specifically.

My car seems to have a loose feeling up front and I can feel it crawl over bumps and imperfections in the road - i.e. it does not feel tight. I would like to do this upgrade if it has not been done.

Thanks,

The turbo tie rod's inner joint is a ball joint, whereas the stock tie rods simply have a pin joint.

I had the same question last month. Good answer here:
