Poly Tie rods?

Is there such a thing as Tie Rod ends with Polyurethane boots instead of rubber?

Yeah.

What difference does it make? The important thing is to get low friction tie rod ends instead of metal bearing style. Usually the best quality units will NOT have grease fittings. If it has a grease fitting, try moving the stud with your finger... if it can be moved easily with your fingertip then it's a low-friction unit, but if you can't move it with anything short of a pair of pliers then it's a high-friction, high-maintenance, high-wear cheapo metal bearing type.
