How do you think the steering rack is connected to the wheel?
There is no inner and outer "tie rod". I suspect you mean the track rod and the track rod end? "Tie rod" is an American term.
always been american term never english term

Not quite sure what you mean?
Even in the US there wouldn't be an inner and outer tie rod, they would have a tie rod and a tie rod end, in the UK we have a track rod and track rod end.
Track rods, of which there are only two, no inner or outer. Referring to inner and outer tie rods would normally refer to cars with track control arms instead of wishbone suspension.
As far as I am aware tie rod/track rods are one and the same as far as vehicles are concerned.
Wiki would agree -
In automobiles, the tie rods are part of the steering mechanism. They differ from the archetypical tie rod by both pushing and pulling (operating in both tension and compression). In the UK, these items are generally referred to as track rods.
Either way, we all knew exactly what he meant
