What is the difference? I cannot figure out if they are the same things or not... Thank you in advance. ;)

Most rack and pinion steering these days have a inner tie rod socket and ball then threaded rod the outter tie rod end threads on to with a jamb nut. Both different and inner is harder to replace do so with the rack boot. Please have the car realigned after tie rods are worked on.

On front wheel drive and some rear wheel drive cars with rack and pinion steering,inner tie rods are a ball socket with a threaded rod that is attached to the rack asm. .Outer tie rods tread onto the inner(threaded end of inner) and is attached to the steering knuckle by the wheel.On some rear wheel drive without rack and pinion the outer is still the same,and the inner could look almost the same,but is attached to steering linkage instead.Hope this helps.

confident and no. many human beings use the words interchangeably. The tie rods are the entire assembly alongside with the adjustable ends. it may well be uncommon for a whole rod to bypass undesirable till it have been given bent in an twist of destiny however the ends do positioned on out and are replaceable by potential of themselves. extra: It relies upon on the motor vehicle as to if purely one end is replaceable. On some fashions there are inner and outer ends that are replaceable.
