I'm doing an Aspire brake swap and getting new tie rod ends. The Aspire tie rod ends seem to be pricey compared to other models. I read that some people have used Escort TREs. Rockauto has MOOG TREs for a 95 Escort for $29 (MOOG Part # ES3048RL) and comes with a grease zerk fitting. Does anyone know if these will fit the Aspire parts? The MOOG TRE for the Aspire is $79.

yes escort tie rod ends can be used in place of aspire ones. -
I second that! But isn't it 90-94 escort tie rod ends you need? I can't remember right now...kinda late

So MOOG Part # ES3048RL works instead of the Aspire tie rod end? I just want to make sure that someone else has used that exact part number. I also read that someone bought Escort TREs and they were too long and had to be cut.OscarComment

I can't verify that exact part number, but I used '94 escort tie rod ends with my aspire swap and didn't have any problems. I saw the thread you are referring to about them being too long though....not sure if the reason behind that was ever figured out."Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years.
