Default Tie rod question

Synopsys:
I'm going to be doing the tie rods on my car soon [the 93gt] (was going to be this weekend, But...)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks exactly like the manuals drawing for the inner tie rod, but they claim its a "rack and pinion socket"
Part in question
Is this a case of "po ta toe, pota to?" or am I a dingbat?<g>

The reason I ask is that we've hit a bit of a snarl, since the part is $20, showed as $20 each at check out, but they charged me 39.95 each, for a part that is exactly the same, but with an "02" suffix.
According to them, ...this is an exact quote from their email....
"The 01 or 02 stand for the two different warehouses we ship out of. "
Anyone else see a problem here?
I'm waiting for a reply to the last message I sent them, basically a big WTF?. They said I could send them back, but I'm not going to pay shipping 3 times on these things.
Opinions?

They were my first choice (I've dealt with them before, never with MU), but for a fox, theyre $32 something. The auto parts store here wanted less than that, ($26, IIRC)
Thanks for the reply, glad to know I'm not loosing my mind
BTW, No response of yet from my last missive.

Update:
Well, I spoke with MU yesterday, (called the GA location, apparently the CT warehouse handles all email/online stuff) and they were willing to try to fix things, and give me $40 in store credit, (half of which will go for a backordered part from the same order).
I would rather have just had the money back, but I'll give them another chance
Kinda funny though, the guy (Scott, owns a '92) suggested calling the GA store in the future. Didn't sound like he had a lot of faith in his northern brethren, LOL
