Rack end or tie rod end? A brand new rack end is only around $70 or thereabouts (did mine last week) I imagine a tie rod end wouldn't be much different. Go new. Don't f**k about with secondhand bits when the new ones are not expensive.

I was getting my discs machined and they found play in the rack end (Inner). Since it was already in the shop and apart I paid them to do it rather than do it myself. $70ish was the invoiced amount for the paart plus some labour. They get all their parts through Repco at trade (as do pretty much every auto shop in this town - a few shop at auto one, but mostly repco).

Anywho - try repco, or failing that give Gavin at Euro Italian a call and see what he has them for.
