Default rear tie rod ends

need to replace the rear tie rod ends. I have moog for front and like the zirc fittings so I can grease them. I can't seem to find rear tie rod ends thru usual suppliers. Chevrolet states front and rear are different parts. Any suggestions?

Easy tiger. maybe I should just visit the Thordarson parts store and get what I need. Sure worked for the front tie rod

1) oem & wrap to protect from heat damage

2) bump steer kits

3) Not much else found (we have some other threads on this recently)

There are some "HD" ones on the auction site that occasionally pop up. $45/each. I think they have grease fittings.

Congrats on your win yesterday and the track record on Saturday. Who else sets a track record and makes toe adjustments all in the same race?

I'm pretty sure those are the same as the ones that Corvette Central sells. I have them on the back of my car. Looks like a MOOG copy from China. No complaints so far... other than that I would rather buy American.
