If they are the same as all the other burgards you can pic them up at any auto store. They are from a tie rod end for a VW bug. I cant remember Exactly what year it was but i have to go pic some up tomorow if I have time. I will give you a part number then.

I just got back from the auto store and this is what I found out. I got the right side tie rod end for a 79VW BUG part number (ES419R). But it is a shade difrent. It works great on the top A-Arms but the lower A Arms I had to grind A Little off. No big deal but it was not a direct fit on the lower Arms. The new ball joint doesnt thread as far back as the old one so I had to grind the taper back a little bit so it would thread in farther. Also the price has gone up to 19$. The new ball joints actually look a bit stouter then the old,If I have time I will get a pic.
