Oh no.

If outer boot is torn, the tie rod would need replacing. Prior to swapping measure the distance and put back in the same spot so you will not be too off on the alignment.

The inner, if the boot is torn just replace the boot but it may require you remove the tie rod end to slip the boot on without tearing it. But before that make sure the gland nut is torqued.

Again, you need to inspect first then take the need steps. We are just guessing now.

I will have to see when I can get it jacked up and have a look. I really appreciate the advice. I have a feeling I will have to replace the inner and outer.
