tie rod ends? boots? what to get?

Tie rod ends are easy. Pull the wheel, remove the cotter pin and castle nut. I use a tie rod end puller (you can get one for about $7) to press out the tie rod from the steering knuckle. Loosen the jam nut on the tie rod and thread off the tie rod. Make sure you count the number of turns to thread off the tie rod, if you don't put the new one on with the same number of turns, you'll throw off your alignment.
I recommend Moog, you can get them through Summit. Be sure to grease the fitting before driving.

Many manufacturers went to a sealed unit in the 90's. You could install the Zerk fittings if you really wanted to, but apparently GM thinks they are uncessary. Notice that they also went to a sealed hub on the front wheel bearing assembly. I guess this is an improvement but I kinda like lubing the chassis.
