Tie rod ball seat

One of my tie rods doesn't have a ball seat. I need to find one. Any suggestions for a supplier?

Because they are individually machined.

First thing I would do is check the socket to make sure it's not in there. My Lo Boy came with both seats on the same side of the ball. I guess the PO had went to put it on and the seat moved and they didn't notice.

Second I would check with JP for a good used one and/or put a want add on the Vine. Nothing against TM they're good folks and with them you know exactly the condition of what you're getting.
