I'm almost positive that you have one tie-rod end per side. They thread onto the ends of the steering rack shafts that have a pivot point built into them.

Sorry, I don't know where I got off track on the rod ends. Working & surfing don't go well together.

I searched a number of parts sites and there is no mention of an upper ball joint. In doing a search on tt.net, I could only find one thread where someone states that the 1990 model FSM shows a king pin attaching the steering knuckle to the upper control arm.

Edit: it's a kingpin right here in the FSM. --->>> HERE
