Default Tie rod ends on power rack and pinion

I have a 1978 Mustang II coup with power steering and I need to replace the outer tie rod ends.

Does anyone know if there is a difference between tie rod ends for the power and manual steering?

I am finding 2 different part numbers for the outside tie rod ends, but the same number for the inners. Also the price for the power steering ends is double that for the manual.

Thanks for any input you have.

Yes they're different. Since you have power steering, you need to get the tie rod ends made for a power steering application.
