Rod ends with zerk? LX470 2007 (1 Viewer)

Waiting on a new steering rack which will arrive any day now, i need to replace my worn tie rod ends also. I was looking into some Rod ends and ball joints and only found some ball joints with built in Zerk fittings. Where can I find tie rod ends with zerk fittings or do I have to custom fit some myself?

I have read other threads about newer tech. not needing any grease but I'd like to have that option where I can maintain them myself or when needed. I do end up with having torn boots quite often (I don't know why, could be me driving over bushes in the desert lol!)

If they have grease fittings then they’re probably junk TREs. Buy OEM Toyota or Sankei 555. Cruiser Outfitters @cruiseroutfit has both.

that's what I plan to buy. I have a local distributor here for 555 products so i'll have to purchase it from them. Cruiseroutfitters are in USA and I'm in middle east so shipping will be outrageous.

so, there's no other option (Except maybe knock-offs) except to retrofit zerks onto TREs?
