Have you checked your local junk yard or Craigslist for partouts? Might be easier from there

Also...tie rods are cheap new, I would not get a used joint.

by wheel stud do you mean wheel bolt? or do you have studs?...

Steering rack out of any E36 will work. There are variations to them: The Z3 nonM is the most desired if you want quick steering.

Im not sure, the mechanic wasn't very detailed about why these needed replacing just said he wouldn't safety it until. Getting it looked at by someone else. I did find an OEM tierod for $45 which is solid, the priciest thing on the list is the pump I think.
