driver side tie rod (you want the rod from the drag link to the knuckle right?

They sell the entire rod with the the tie rod all together or they sell the tie red end on its own for use with the sleeve, or, possibly, they sell the rod without the tie rod end but Im not sure on that

you notice youre missing a couple bolts on your dana 44? Is this a 1989 F250?

heres a part number you can cross reference ( or buy if you want) 46A2041A and (ac delco)
alternative

do you want both sides? Because the drag link itself goes to the passenger side, I can get you that link
heres two adjusting sleeves (not sure the difference: 45A6017, 46A6017A )

Whats your front axle rating? Is it over 4200 pounds?
because under 4200 pounds use 22mm threads, but over 4200 pounds use 1 inch by 18 (? im not sure what that means)

Do you need the tie rods themselves?

That is just the left inner tie rod end available at almost every parts store
Yours is bent from being towed?

i thought i only needed the end but i shortly found out its easier to get the whole thing, yes its an 89 f250, and i found quickly that that was the source of my dif leak😂

Sweet
Just count the threads when you replace it, and the toe should be close enough to drive to the alignment shop
