Default Inner Tie Rod Part Number?

I'm looking for a left inner tie rod for my '07 Z06. I noticed, however, that the price is a good bit less for the '09+ part. Can anyone tell me what changed (if anything)?

No one? I wish I could pull up part numbers to compare but the online parts listings don't show it. I've found some aftermarket parts (ACDelco 45A0708) that claim to fit both years (2007 and 2009).

One more bump for the evening crowd. I just want to know what changed so I can decide which part to buy.

sent you PM with page for 2007 & 2009. i cannot send them here because that site just happens NOT to be a paid vendor. Even if all you want is part number, it does show price (and other paid vendors sell same parts here).. so cant post link here, but can send in a PM

Thanks, that helps. I wonder what has changed between the two parts though.

In 09 they changed to variable rate steering. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the actual parts of the steering rack, but could be why they changed the inner tie rods.
