As the title suggested.

Is it a worth while idea to grease up those tie rod ends so that they may be just a tad easier to move when the day comes to adjust or to replace?

Or would greasing those puppies up make a reciepe for disaster ...in otherwords lubed up tie rod ends making rods even with clamps moveable under use?

Or or...could the grease along with time and a collection of dirt/dust fuse the tie rod ends to the tie rods even more so than with out grease?

Good or bad idea? Suggestions?

What you need is "Neversieze", if its wize to lube this area is another thing.

Ok then....does anyone know if its wise or unwise to lube the tie rod ends in their tie rods/relay rods?

Waiting to find out before i go and bolt them on.

I always wipe them with grease so I can adj later, and it helps stop water running up inside arm.
They dont spin during use.

yes grease. once you've got the locks done up they can't spin.
