inner tie rod replacement
 
What started as a quick check of my transmission has turned into a multi-hundred-dollar repair. Jack was pushed too far back and bent my tie rod on the right side. I got it bent back close, and then set the toe with a tape measure, good enough to drive for the interim.

I'm going to replace both outer tie rods since the boots are completely shot. There does not seem to be any availability for the inner tie rod? The Jag parts catalog just has the complete steering assembly. I'm not about to spend $2500 on a new rack and pinion.

If that's the case I may just replace the outers, try to bend the inner rod back as best I can, and get it aligned.
