Measure the taper on the balljoint and the thread pitch and diameter of the tie road. Then compare.

Why take the risk of a catastrophic steering failure for the small cost of a tie rod end?

Buy a new one that fits.

vr-vs and vt series 1 use the same tie rod end, magnas are compleatley different. the part# you need is te750 and should cost you no more than $20.00 at worst case. as rx25se said dont risk it, get your local parts shop to order it in or i can supply you one if needed.
