Why are tie rods so hard to find?

[bgaller]

RockAuto is sold out, as are most other online retailers (longer driver side unit). The Moog DS767 seems to be the best option, but even Moog doesn't have it on their site. All my local parts stores say they don't carry it, where is everyone else getting a replacement? I was able to find the pass tie rod end, sleeve, and drag link.

May have to get that replacement that has a replaceable tie rod on each end. I haven't done it yet but I am going to.
Hang on and I will find you a link,

I know that's expensive.
But you get a much stronger tie rod.
Replaceable tie rods at both ends.
And an adjustable drag link.

Was hoping for something cheaper, this is an occasional use truck so I don't need anything fancy.

Nobody in the mainstream parts business wants to stock slow or non moving items for 50 year old vehicles because "inventory costs money". That being said, here you go.

Please guys. Check our sponsors first. If we don’t then ten years down the road we’ll have to build our own parts.

... BACK WHEN I WAS IN THE PARTS BUSINESS .. I got out in 1995 so my story is old.
Someone can help me here .. But there was a company call ''OBSOLETE Suspension Parts.''. or Obsolete Chassis Parts .Obsolete Classic parts ..Something like that. I'll bet someone knows about it. I remember getting a guy some NOS RoadRunner steering parts .
... Since I'm an old parts guy I cant believe ... I can't believe our Bronco are now Obsolete.

Papitt, those tie rods i linked at napa are Obsolete/rare Suspension company parts.

Agreed guys....if it's within a few bucks stay with the Bronco vendors...course if you are all just trying to make a fast buck and drive up the prices on parts for us "life-long" owners then I hope the China made part breaks before you can resell and make a fast buck off your Bronco! lol

Joking aside...keep our Bronco part vendors in business...
