get a short 3/8" eye bolt, the inside on the loop should have a diameter of about 1/2"
like this:


get some 3/8 nuts, take two, use a drill, bore out the threading so it has an inside diameter of 3/8" and it will slide up and down a 3/8" bolt. also grind away the hexagon edges of the nuts until they fit inside the loop of the eye bolt

two some washers that fit on a 3/8" bolt, stack one on the bolt to the end, then slip on the two nuts you drilled out, slip on the eyebolt, then another washer

screw one coupling nut on the eyebolt, but only half way, and make it stay there with loctite, or weld

there you have a cheap tie rod end, beats paying $10 for one
