Which seller? When I had my MR2 a few years ago I used some from E-Bay for the same reasons. No problems with them at all and I put a lot of hard miles on it.
Moog tie rod ends are costly for a reason: they are the best.
If you think that $22 each for tie rod ends are a good deal, think about cheap price vs safety. Doesn't compute in my book.
Try Rockauto for tie rod ends. You will find Moog ends for $44 each, Raybestos Professional Grade for $42 and AC Delco for $40. And these are the professional grade parts. They also carry standard level units of the same brand for half those costs.
