Yeah the actual tie rod not the tie rod ends.
Seems like someone was producing aluminum suspension links. Maybe Wide Open Design or Branik(sp?) Motorsports?
Try 530 Motorsports in Chico, I know they make AL links
Permanently closed, listed as in Truckee,ca
Ord has aluminum suspension links but not sure about tie rods.
Lots of guys make steel ones, just need left and right hand taps and the appropriate tubing. 1 1/4" tube with a 1/4" wall gives a 3/4" ID that a 7/8" tap will cut threads into, that's what a lot of guys are using for steel. I think ORD also has a 1 1/2" tube with a 3/8" wall that would be 3/4" ID. You can likely do the same with aluminum if you can get the appropriate stock. Taps are cheap on ebay.
ORD can make one for you I'm sure. If not Branik will do it.

Make sure you use 7075 Al since it’ll bend back straight if you bash it against a rock. These guys look like a good price and there’s a video that shows how they’re made.
