I can't argue with the time is money comment. I find it hard to believe that it's such a unique item, but it is possible. If this were a daily driver, I'd be looking for something more common as it is a wear part.
I just sent a message to Federal Mogul (Moog) asking if they had a tie rod end with 7/8 -16 RH male threads. Let them do the work.

That RP- 25298 PN you listed for the right hand says the threads are 7/8-18, so the OP may have mis-measured on the thread pitch. My query to Moog probably won't work. It's also listed on the RP site for $104. Also,the PN RP-26616 is listed as 7/8-16 RH and the $173 price. ohwell

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
