2012scion

Hey what's up guys! I'm a new inexperienced driver. I bought a 2012 Scion tC from a friend. It's slightly modified to look 'cool' and when I bought the car it was super low, especially for the NYC streets.
Having shared the car with my girlfriend a lot of bad pot holes were hit and ultimately damaging the inner tie rods and front sway bar links (the wheel on the car kinda sways to the right AND left now, use to just be the right side)

After taking it to get checked out the results is that we to replace the inner tie rods and the front sway bar links.

I have NO IDEA where to find these and don't want to risk buying the wrong parts so I am asking for help.

I tried the original Toyota website because I want to get original parts since I'm a newbie. After searching for inner tie rods on the original site these are the only options I get:

https://parts.toyota.com/productSear...er%20tie%20rod

and I have no idea if either of these is what I need to replace the front inner tie rods. Can someone enlighten me here?

Even searching for the front sway bar links I'm not to sure which part I would need, these are the results:

https://parts.toyota.com/productSear...y%20bar%20link

Any help is greatly appreciated, I had the car sitting in a garage for a month but I'm ready to work on it now.

I could show pictures of the car if anyone is interested. It does look pretty dope!

http://rockauto.com is a good place to start, and likely cheaper than factory. They have an easy to use drop down website. I prefer to replace with Moog parts if they're available.

After the tie rod ends get replaced, you'll probably want to get the car aligned as well.

FWIW... I've placed well over 20 orders from them (as well as many family and friends) and never had a single issue.. No problems with returns either.

If you go searching for bad reviews about a place, you'll find them.
