the tie rod on the left is the wrong size. the one on the right is the one that fits. I need two inside tie rods that are the same length. Using all the adj. the sleeve has the front tires have about 10 degree's of toe in.

Just ordered a pair from mazda, showing up monday morning.

Anyone know the brand of the one on the right (see pic) ?

My stocker ones (GSL-SE) and the ones that I am putting on (Moog) both look like what you have on the left.
