Default Drag Link part question

I'm trying to get the proper name for parts of the DRAG LINK. If some could tell me the name of the part that is at the end of the short arm into the pit-man and the name of the end of the long arm.

Is it call a TRE?

I need to replace the end part on the long arm.

Short arm into the pit-man arm already has a new aftermarket (TRE?) part in with a grease zerg

Yep. Tie rod end. And you want 1 ton tie rod ends that have a 1.5" per foot taper on them.

Anything but the factory junk. Haha. Most aftermarket have a sintered steel ball and socket type joint. The factory have a steel ball and nylon socket so they are prone to early retirement.
