I don't think the joint on fixed end of DL is replaceable, also as far as tie rod go's think awhile back a couple guys wanted to do moog joints on the TR
But couldn't get the end that's crimped out. Might try and do a search on here see if you can find those threads..

Unscrew, install new joint and line up hole.
If the length changes your steering wheel will we off center. With tires pointing straight ahead .. Adjust turnbuckle to center wheel again.

Fwiw .. Both driver side joints are replaceable. Passenger side joints are not.
