Default Rear toe tie rod ends
Okay, on my 89 these are shot. Jack the car up, grab the tire at three and nine oclock and I can watch the toe tie rod ends move and move a lot. Does anyone know of any source for stock replacment of the tie rod end?

The only thing I can find is to replace it with an entire aftermarket assembly.

As with all parts I'm trying to stay close to stock to stay legal for A-stock SCCA but beginning to think it's time to give it up.

Thanks.

I got bumped to BSP after changing the wheels so I am doing as many suspension mods as I can afford this winter.

VBandP has them, but they're $110/ea.

If I recall, the bill from Ecklers was $80 for both, shipped. Unless they no longer have the ends, they were the best deal.
