inner tie-rod bushing

[Phil Rose <pjrose@servtech.com>]

In reference to the message quoted below, I see in the Family Album what
appears to be an inner tie rod bushing, but it doesn't have a part number
shown. Is this rubber bushing one that commonly needs to be replaced? A
worn bushing here might explain some symptoms I've been having in my '91
200. Is it a standard part for many models? Anyone have a part number?
