Tried Toyota, or not available anymore/too expensive?

Any reason for needing new/replacement ones?

yea the rubbers on them have broken alot of free play in the steering

There is a lot more to a steering system than the tie rod ends, which by their nature are a threaded rod so you arent going to get much freeplay there.

I know you are doing a conversion and your car may not be drivable, but i would suggest taking it to a specialist if there unless there is someone here that can offer better advice as it may be something else entirely. Its a bit hard to diagnose things over the net.

I got them brand new from Burson Auto Parts. If you are having trouble try Automotive Surplus here in Mitcham (Melbourne).

Any luck?

I need both outer tie rod ends and pitman arm for my RX12. If you find a place that stocks these new let me know.

I'm currently using my tie rod ends after they had plastic/nylon injected in them to reduce play(was legal when they were done, but not now). Got a MX30 pitman arm on at the moment, but lock to lock is shorter.
