Default Where to buy tie rod assemblies?

Folks,

Need to replace inner and outer tie rods on the rear of my C5, but I can't seem to find anyone who sells the inners, OE or aftermarket. I searched and the topic came up previously with no good options. Just wondering if anyone has any place to get them now since the last time the question was asked. Thanks.

Try ZIP and Ecklers. Bear makes them, check under Bear automotive.

Try Rock auto - Moog. You don't want a bump steer kit unless you WANT a bump steer kit. They are different from stock.

Nada. He only mentions bump steer kits, not OEM tie rods. Not looking to dabble in bump steer setups. This is not my first rodeo.

Need to do this as well, as the boots on my ends have burnt away, thanks for the tip!

On the same subject, do you also recommend the MOOG-brand front LCA ball joints? I believe mine are shot for the same reason.
