i ordered a tie rod end coming off the pitman arm from pep boys tryied installing wasnt the right diamter. brought it back brought in the old steering linkage to match up size the guy went thru all the tie rod ends he could find no luck. any one ever have this issue and does anyone know the part # . i dont feel like buying the wrong one again

Is the steering STOCK?????

yes

best bet would be to go to the dealership if a parts store doesnt have it. even the dealership if they are nice might be able to tell you where you could get one
