I just need a picture of a front inner tie rod, with the boots off.

Looks like I'm rebuilding the whole rack eventually, but for now, I'll be replacing all the tie rods and ball joints.

everything looks pretty straight forward, exept for the front inner tie rods, which they are partially hidden by a boot.
I just wanna know what I'm playing with before I jump into this, I need to make a plan first.

Check out this link. WCF shows the tie rod in their power steering conversion.

A manual steering rack inner tie rod is similar.

Because of their limited intelligence, they never came close to guessing that they were making champagne." - Kurt Vonnegut

that was an interesting article, thanks for the read!

it doesn't look complicated, and seems pretty straight forward.

if you buy a steering rack from Autozone - it includes the inner tie rods.

there is no guarantee on the steering ratio being the same.

they do specify base or GT - which distinguishes the ratio

I know advance doesn't sell the rack, so I guess I'll have to pay autozone a visit tomorrow to verify if theres a difference or not.
if the part number turns out to be the same then they just standardize them now.
