There are guys on this board and others that are parting out MKI's, you might get in touch with one of them and see if you can get a new steering box from them.

My Rack and Pinon were tight, but tie rods were loose, found a set on E bay and replaced them myself. Once you get the steering box out of the car changing the tie rods is easy. (I know "Easy" is a relative term) but the Big Green Book does a good job of explaining it. Since your inner tie rods were shot, the outers probably aren't in much better shape.

Just checked E Bay, inner and outer tie rods and front lower ball joints, $66. delivered.

Good luck.

Yeah, I have some.(several)

Will ship from South Florida.

After $350? how does maybe $100+ shipping sound?

I can ship Monday after the 4th holiday?

I have a Paypal acct too.(Fast payment, fast shipping)

If your interested reply with address and zip code and I'll quote shipping towards the Fort.

I'll be on the mail all weekend.

I bought a sunroof shade from Tim, his price was fair and he shipped same day he got the money order.

Couldn't ask for better service.
