I searched and searched and found zero. If you are looking online, make sure you call them first. Every single one that I called that showed having stock actually had ZERO including every single ebay auction (at that time).

The inner ones are now not a problem if the aforementioned solution actually works. If someone tries it, please let us know.

I had my driver side inner tie rod replaced back in Aug 09 ...
It was rough trying to find just the inner tie rod since it shows that you have to replace the whole steering rack .
However Don Ward ( 832) 717 - 4977),was able to find a part to fit and so far so good .
Here is the info ... Mopar Steering Tie Rod part # MR519046
This part came from an 01 - 05 2 door Stratus
Cost for part $72.20
Good Luck .... ~ Sugar ~
{Oops I've corrected the Phone #} Thanks Mickey !
Also the inner tie rod will be a different color than the original rod ...Its lighter in color

This is from Kees

Gents,
This should probably go into the Replacement Part or Technical section of the board but it's good to know and saves
a bundle:

I had an issue with somebody hitting me on the passenger side and my inner tie rod was bent. When scanning several dealer sites they could only supply me a complete steering rack (appr. 1600 US$).

I found the POA message of David with the reply of ivegotsugar and decided to give the Sebring/Stratus tie rod's a try.

I ordered them at a dealer locally and they supplied me the replacements of MOOG Steering Tie Rod part # MR519046

The shaft itself is slightly thicker (not the end's they are exactly the same) so you need 2 to keep the car symetric and you have to paint them but all in all a very cheap, direct replacement and easy fix !!
(and yes, while at the job anyway I replaced the tie rod ends also)

Keep this in mind when you are in desperate need for them.

Best regards,

Kees

Gary you are probably the only one that deals with this issue due to the chroming aspect of things.
If anyone ever need one I'm sure (THEY)we will have to fight that battle then. But for now I can't see anyone just taking apart there car to test fit the inner tie rod until its absolutely necessary. That's what make this difficult.
