Default Tie End Rod Question

So here are a couple pictures...

I cant find any stickers or numbers on the tie rod or the connecting rod from the pitman to the main tie rod. I know im not using the right terminology but if any questions just ask. My question is since i cant find a brand or number on any the y- link steering component can anyone give advice on how to find the appropriate tie ends? Or am i going to have to remover them all and just go to an auto part store and see which one might be identical.

I have a 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4x4, I6, Manual transmission, Rear is a Dana 35, front is a Dana 30

That is down right dangerous.


That is probably a 1 ton steering with GM rod ends. Doesn't look like the PO reamed out the knuckles to accept GM rod ends.

Don't drive it.
