As is industry standard ( and we were the first to offer
Front End Kits in 1980), inner tie rod ends are not included as they were less than outers and often are not needed. NO they are not available locally, while many tie rod ends LOOK similar, so do pistons but they have different specs. We sell the inners also

The cup/cone berings on the center steering arm are not cup/cone but bicycle ball and race and have been obsolete over 60 years. I see you have referred to the "center post" bearings also, are those not the same thing??

King pin bushings ALWAYS NEED REAMING as they are a crush fit when pressed in.

A shaved Ivory soap bar works well for inner lube of the TA BAll and for assembly, it's in the Service Letters

Spring compressor is not needed, follow instructions above
