197: Replacing inner tie rods. Genuine or not?

[Antti O]

Hi
My right inner tie rod is little loose. Outer tie rod parts already replaced with lemförder quality parts. Genuine inner ends are 42£ each + delivery. Do you know any other options?

And second question, do you recommend that i replace both sides? The right side is the only which is worn.

I personally would buy genuine. I would also fit both sides as you will have to get the wheel alignment done after fitting. Another job out the way.

These are now replaced. Genuine parts were 5/5. No any problems. We did not need any special tools.
Inner tie rods was easy to remove with this kind of tool:
