ok, so i ordered one complete outter tie rod and one tie rod end (i didnt have the money to get two complete ends, but it is just the one that is bad, the other one is just fine..) and the ends are different, but is it simply a brand thing or should i call paragon products and bitch at them... or would it be safe to install... pictures below to help... i do like the codder pin safty aspect, as to just the nylon insert....

Both are safe. I have installed both types on my cars and they are the same.

Threads are different also, the nylon one has a finer thread.
Both should be ok though

They both will work, but I would never change just one. You want them to match.

i would think that as long as you had it aligned properly it wouldn't really matter. Just make sure you take off the plastic cover before you try and put it in. oops
