tie rods?

[ultimatejay]

Looking for tie rods for my 73 rx2 sedan. I\'m having a hard time finding any in the states. Anyone know where I can get some?

Thanks

Hi there.
I managed to get the little rubber covers for the rod ends from Mazda here. Would you like me to give you the part numbers for the tie-rod ends, and you could try Mazda there?

[ultimatejay]

Yes, that would be great.  I need inner and outer tie rods.
Thanks

try rare spares in aus, I got some track rod ends and ball joints for my 323 there

Thanks, I will try Rare spares and let you know. I ordered some from Rob Mills in Australia and the inner tie rods were wrong. I have the long gooseneck style and the one\'s I recieved were shorter and straight. Now, I am just looking for the inners.

Right, I have a US parts list. I can see that the inner Tie-rod ends have a kink in them (like me!), and the outer ones are shorter and straight.

The Mazda part number I have is:

2113 99 322A  Socket Ass\'y Q\'ty 2.

Try that, I could try my local Mazda dealer, if you have no luck.

Martiny, thanks for the help. I ordered some tie rods from Rob Mills at Ringwood auto parts and the outer tie rods I got are the same, however the inner tie rods that Rob sent me are shorter and straight. As you can see in the pic my inner tie rods are long and have a "gooseneck" curve in it. Are these the same inner tie rods you guys have in Australia on your rx2\'s or are yours different?
