If you are looking for rear tie rod end ball joints when rebuilding your suspension then BMW 5 series pre 89 are the ones to ask for at the local factors. They have a left hand thread on them and cost £9 as opposed to £40 + VAT at Toyota.

Make sure you ask for the inner rod ends as you need the left hand thread. The outers are right hand and will not fit.

Hate to bring up such an ancient topic but I assume this only works on a mk1b. On a mk1a the tie rod ends fit, but the tie rod will be way to short.
