Tie end rods 1990 cabrio FC [again?]

First of all HELLO and WOW!

Hello because I am new, and WOW how big your community is :O
I am writing from Poland, RX7 is so rare here that I have to buy parts in USA or Japan, no way to buy anything here

Also my Mazda were purchased in USA, right now I am restoring whole chassis and all the suspension parts; rear axle, covers, differential, exhaust etc. all went well but I stuck at tie ends...

I have to buy new parts but
Inner lenght is correct ~25cm (I know, you don't like methric system but I don't know imperial, sorry), but thread here is M12 / regarding to Mazda parts all of them are M14 [?????]

Outer thread is M12 which is the same as I have, but regarding to Mazda its lenght is 92mm and I have 115mm....

I have no idea what's wrong here. Any advises please?


inner

outer

I don’t think you should have any issues buying any Mazda or aftermarket parts. For the inner tie rod, the male threads for the outer tie tod side should be m12. I just did some reading since I’m at work and the male threads on the steering rack side is m14.
