Major drag link slop

I have an 85 4runner with a ton of steering slop. I have traced it to the end of the drag link that connects to the steering knuckle. Does anyone know where to find the internals for a rebuild?
The truck is stock...so far. Not planning on installing an aftermarket unit at this point.

The plug is rusted tight, I'm probably going to destroy it getting it to move.
I had to drill the cotter pin out, and am pondering how to get the plug loose after twisting a big screwdriver off trying.
