Broken inner tie rod at the track.
I went off track in a bad spot and broke my inner tie rod end. I've been reading about outer tie rod bump steer kits like SPL and how they can change the geometry to help prevent the weak inner tie rod from breaking so I will be getting something like that but for my broken inner tie rod should I go aftermarket or oem? Only one I see that makes them is Megan and usually I stay away from anything megan but if I want to go aftermarket it may be my only choice unless anyone knows anymore. They advertise it to be stronger than oem. Anyone run the megan tie rods?

Do you want to bend an inner end, outer end, end link, control arm, or wheel?
If you go 4-wheelin', it sometimes costs money. Personally, I'd stick with OEM, unless there's an obvious performance advantage that makes sense and that I'm willing to live with (NVH?). I don't know the costs and hassle that figure into your issue, but that's how I'd approach it. Chalk it up to a wear item and lesson learned.
