Stangless,
Damn my car was gross when I posted that. Uhhhhhh....
Anyway, the part with the green arrows pointing to it is the actual "Tie Tod, AKA Inner Tie Rod" It goes into the boot and I'm pretty sure that a nut holds it in place but I don't really know for a fact. I didn't replace mine, I just replaced my "Tie Rod Ends", which are the pieces that are screwed onto the ends of the "tie rod/inner tie rod".
So, basically the steering rack has two inner tie rods coming out of it and tie rod ends screw onto the end of each inner tie rod (used to adjust toe for alignments)... Damn that sounds confusing if you read it fast.
Hope that helps some. I STILL don't know if inner tie rods go bad or what .... but now that my thread is alive again, maybe someone will enlighten us further.
