So as of Thursday of this week the Rex is temp out of commission due to a snapped tie rod. Removed the broken inner tie rod completely and placed an over night order from parts geek to get a new one so come Monday by noon it should be waiting for me on my door step upon return from work. Now for my question after looking over the broken tie rod and comparison to the photo provided by parts geek for the tie rod ordered they look pretty different. But when looking at some other photos of manual and power steering tie rods they look almost identical even though I know they probably aren't. So am I just freaking out because the online distributor is using a generic photo or did I just shoot myself in the foot overnighting the wrong part. The tie rod being replaced is the driver side inner. I will try to post a pic of the one removed and the one ordered but I always struggle uploading pics on here. Thanks to all for any wisdom advice received it is much appreciated.

I haven't had to replace an Inner on an FC so I'm not an expert. I'd guess it's a generic picture as long as the description was correct, I wouldn't worry about it.

That warehouse was the only one that had the overnight shipping option but it didn't have any info in the spot for manual or power thats why I'm kind of second guessing right now parts geek will deff beat any parts vendor price wise but getting a person on the phone is like finding bin ladens body

Hey question opposite of this want more power from my 13b Bridgeport or turbo along side a rebuild and can I use my non turbo tranny if I go forced induction

Yeah, but as long as you're using it, you'll have to have the N/A flywheel on whatever engine is in there. Over 250HP on the N/A drivetrain and you're risking trouble depending on your driving style. AaronCake did run his at ~400HP for a while though, then blew up two of them and switched to a TII trans.

Yeah but Aaron was drag racing his car which is much tougher on the tranny/diff than just driving it.

Yep wrong effing part and they dont answer or respond to customer support tickets so I needed up overnighting another one through a different vendor who confirmed over the phone that the manual and power steering systems both utilize the same inner tie rod for the left (driver) side. So instead of having the day off and moping around I went ahead and removed my power steering pump and mounting bracket hog wash and also got out the rack for further disassembly and depowering.
