Default C5 tie rods

I have a few worn tie rods (99 vert w/ 70k) I looked up moog parts on Rock auto and there are only 2 part numbers. Are there 4 each of these same units on the vechicle? I plan to have the work done - but they are 1/2 the price on line. 400+ instead of 850 for parts.

thank
Roy

Each wheel has an inner and outer piece, so I am sure that is why there are two part numbers. You may only need to replace the outer tie rods and not the inners.

Thanks for your replay..
That's what I suspected. Inspection showed one inner and 2 outer need replacing - I was just going to do them all as I figure it's not that expensive. The car is paid for and I have no plans to sell. Want it to feel new again - soft sticky tires going on also, (no more run-flats).

Could someone please confirm that there are 8 in total, 4prs of ea?

Thanks...
Roy
