Anyone know of an online vendor where I can purchase an inner tie rod end for a Kizashi SLS AWD? I've found plenty of outer tie rod ends, but having trouble find an inner. Thanks.

To my knowledge this part was never made available by it self , only as a complete rack unit. Even in the aftermarket world. I would bet if it was one was taken off and to the parts store and you had a parts guy that knew his stuff with enough time to go through the likely possibilities that a near match could be found. With all of the Kizashis I have worked on coupled with living in a state requiring annual inspections, I have only seen one car that another shop rejected for play in the inner tie rod but yet was so slight it was let go after finding out it was a not available. I keep an eye on that one to see if it gets worse but so far it hasnt. I have a steering rack for parts waiting if I need to change one. What I would suggest is to be sure that that is where your play is coming from. Sqeeze hard through the bellows boot to feel while someone else checks for play. It could be just a loose fit of the bar to rack housing especially if on the right side. This would not be a safety at that point. If it is the inner tie rod, go to car-part.com and find a low mile rack near you and buy it for the ends. Currently these are only costing about $75
