Aspire vs Escort tie rod ends

[Festiva GTX]

I was wondering why Aspire tie rod ends have more expensive than Escort tie rod ends?

I can use Escort tie rod ends for with aspire upgrade brake? It won't make any different effects performance driving?

Since I looked on www.rockauto.com says Aspire tie rod ends cost about 70 dollar per one(Best grade) and Escort tie rod ends cost about 22 dollar per one(Best grade)

i've had escort ends on my aspire swap for almost 10k i think, no problems. No idea why the aspire part is so much more expensive, seems like it should be the same part # to me.

They are the exact same?

If you go pick-your-part, it is .50 cents per piece..

I used AZ best quality Escort tie rod ends for Luxstiva's swap over three years ago. No problems.

The cost difference also escapes me.

Do the escort tie rod ends work on the stock festy, though?

I dont understand why everyone is saying the Aspire TRE's are expensive....... advance auto parts has them for less than $12.....

More likely it was cheap material and won't last long more than 6 months or 1 year at time the cheap rubber will wear out quicker than best grade TRE's
