Aftermarket tie rod ends / complete tie rods?

[Fordiesel69 263]

I can buy car parts cheaper than what toro charges for a tie rod.  Any option out there for either a complete tie rod or end that is more affordable?

I've used these quite a few times. Less than $10 a pair.

I did this 26 years ago. Still works great.

One of our vendors is making and selling good quality tie rods... Many people have been very happy with his parts.

Check out Agri-supply part # 45-111, $ 4.49 each.

​What do you use between them?

For a Suburban drag link I used 3/8"-24 threaded rod with a piece of 1/2" OD steel tube the correct length over it. There's no need for adjustment in this application. For an adjustable tie rod you'd want to use a jam nut.

​I got those at Ace Hardware. There's a gazillion of them on Ebay cheaper but I was in a hurry. Tractor Supply also has them as well as many other places.

If you have a needle for your grease gun you can slip it under the rubber for a shot of lube also. Sure eliminates the rust and wear.
