85 300D Project
I have a big task infront of me this weekend or coming week. I will be replacing the right ball joint. And while I'm at it will replace the right wheel bearings and the tie rod end.

The left & right assy includes both ends and the torque tube. It's often cheaper to by the assy as opposed to the ends only.

assembly
so I guess the tie rods in this assembly are the same tie rods that are replace one at a time? Why does the one that says center have that thing that sticks out in between and the other one does not?

The first one is called a Drag link in the Service manual and other, or second one is the tie rod. The drag link is installed in the middle of the car between the steering box pitman arm and the idle arm assembly. The tie rods are installed fromt he pitman arm on the drivers side to the wheel steering link. The passenger side it is attached from the idel arm assembly to the right wheel. The part sticking out on the drag link is where the steering shock absorber attaches.
