Having trouble finding a centre link for my 95 Sierra. Are the Sierras the same chassis as the samurais?

Being a 95 and leaf sprung it is the same as a samurai .
What do you mean by centre link?

I believe it's called the centre link. It's the bar tha ties the front wheels together the tie rods attach to it and so does the drag link. I could be wrong

The tie rod joins the 2 wheels together and the drag link goes from the steering box (pitman arm) to the tie rod .
The rod ends ( ball joints ) on either end of the tie rod are replaceable . Only a bent tie rod or a worn out balljoint where the drag link attaches would require replacement of the entire tie rod.

As UBZ said that is the same as a samurai, the chassis code is SJ70 to save any confusion as there is another model of samurai that is coil sprung and quite a bit different.

Unlikely to get a new one, as much as I hate to say it your best bet may be mudbits in Tauranga.

Can you get it pressed straight-ish and then get it sleeved with a section of tube to strengthen it

I thought about putting it on my old mans press and trying to straighten it but it looks to be bent up but also backwards into the diff
