    93 LE or 94 R Tie Rod aftermarket replacement part?

    Is there an aftermarket tie rod replacement for OEM part # N021-32-280A (93 LE or 94 R tie rod)? I haven't seen anything so far, anyone here can share any find? Thanks.

    $10 cheaper per side here http://realmazdaparts.com/part-search.html

    Everything I have bought from them comes in fast, and cheaper than anyone else!

    Thanks Randy.

    I am surprise that this tie rod was made exclusively for the LE and R only? I found a thread about a MOOG MD-ES-1355 but this only found in UK. I wonder if this is the alternate.

    Maybe in the homeland of Japan there is an alternate, but then again only a handful of guys even know why you would want it, so I am sure the demand is quite low, so for someone to make a similar version would probably be a slow selling item, most folks would want OEM anyhow. I know I would.

    Lol I am cheap like that. You probably right about the demand being low but there's quite a number who knows about this upgrade I would think.

    Also this one pop out on my search......

    Available thru partsgeek.com part # 8535-01118326 it is listed for 93-94 miata w/ bilstein damper priced at $21.44. If this it then this is 3x less than the OEM one.

    Bumping this for aftermarket part #s.

    A friend of mine pulled this up on his Wold Pak account. He is ambivalent about FEQ's quality, but those prices are distributor's pricing.

    I still want to know what the aftermarket p/n is for LE/R pack tie rods.

    15 dollars compared to 50--60 seems like a part to try out.
