Default Outer Tie rods the same Front and Rear

So looks like my outer tie rods are shot in the front and also a bit in the rear. Having a hard time finding rear replacements. Herd they are the same as the fronts which makes sense as the spindle is the same front and rear. Or does anybody have the rear outer part number.

Rear part # is 88955488 front is 26086581. The rears are longer than the fronts, rears are usually more $ than the fronts.

FYI, this was the only place I actually found a rear inner tie rod that was correct - all the autoparts stores have a front tie-rod listed as a rear:

Spindles are the same yes, but front/rear TREs are indeed different unfortunately.
