    I recently bought my rackends and tie-rod ends from Autobarn, cost me $100 for the lot, but it helps if you know someone, that was for standard parts, try AJPS i think he does reasonable prices for standard gear.

    Repco had a special not so long ago, bluebird tie rods $7 each. Then I got new rack ends off Nathan for like $15. Winner.

    from memory I got JIC inners for 300 and NAMS ends 250... But rose joints FTW!

    Added to Qauaife Rack and new bushes, bearings and boots was expensive but worth every penny!
