Default Replacement tie rods 2009 king 500

Ok I know that many of the items are interchangeable for the King series but have not been able to find or get a straight answer on the tie rods.
noticed some play in the handlebars yesterday and where I grabbed the tire there was a ton of slop. No wheel wobble but the bushing is toast.

I have pressed and rolled one tie rod already so I am looking for a heavy duty replacement set and not just the ends.

If anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I found and bought just the ends.
(This is the only listing I found after much looking around)
They are due in Friday so with any luck I will get them on Saturaday.

If anyone locates the rods or a complete upgrade kit please post.

Skip the prior post. the rods have a female end and the all ***** are female as well.
I guess they don't have allot of ***** since they require a male end.
called Rocky Mtn and they are e-mailing me a return postage slip.
I guess I am going to have to call my local dealer.
Grrrrrrrrrrr......

I do have to say that the person I talked with was nice enough and did give me a 15 dollar credit for my time effort and energy to this point. (I didn't even ask)

Final update for now. Hiram (the guy I talked with) at Rocky Mountain called me yesterday and said he looked into the problem and the packaging was wrong and he checked the warehouse and they do have the ends I need.
I told him to bill me for another set and send them out asap.
I will be sending out the wrong ones tomorrow for my credit.
****
So long story short they admitted the issue was on their end and the guy did follow up. (the 15 dollar credit doesn't hurt either)
I am very happy with the service I received so far considering the mistake.

Hats off to you Hiram.

Once I get the replacement and time to put them on I will post.
