tie rod end and drag link ends

They looked very similar. But no jam nut. Boot was different also. It's not that I'm opposed to parts that wear out just the ones I can't find replacements for.
 
No DRE and TRE do not have the same taper IIRC. The Drag link end should be larger.
The taper is the same angle, but done to a different depth. So a TRE will flop into a DLE hole and you probably can't get it tight. Put a DLE in a TRE end hole and you probably can't get the nut started.

That's sounds right. Still incompatible obviously.
