    I have a 2012 Crew Max Tundra Grade Tundra.
    My tie rods are shot on the front.
    I ordered a new one to replace one side, and when it came in it is longer and thinner than the original on the truck.
    I purchased a Moog replacement.
    Part number for Moog is ES800326.
    Says it is a direct replacement. It is not. The inner tie rod threads are not deep enough to accommodate the longer Outer Tie rod
    Everything else I have seen is the same as the MOOG.
    But the one I have on the truck is short and thick.
    can anyone point me in the right direction.
    Also the truck has a 6 inch Pro Comp lift on it. if that matters.
    Please let me know if I am missing something here..

    Toyota OEM Part No.: 45046-09560

    Number stamped on the tie rod on my truck is 90-40231(driver side) and 90-40232(passenger side)
