Good to know, thanks. Those look very nice.
I really thought I was going to need tie-rod ends a month or two ago. Turns out the pax side just backed out because someone before me didn't secure it down.

I opened one up. There are shims in there to take up the play. You cant get the shims but u can get shim stock and cut. poly cups are available and so are the tabs to lock them in place. you need a thin spanner on one nut.

The shims were in place on mine, but the locking tabs were never peened over. In setting the alignment the entire tie rod came loose. Luckily for me, the threads were fine and I just needed to tighten it back to the steering rack and bend the tabs over to secure it in place. That never happens for me, especially on the Stag. Usually, the threads on the rack would be buggered up requiring complete replacement of the rack.

That said, for what I assume is $52.20 AUD ($39.54 US) plus shipping each, that's a good deal all things considered.
