Default tie rod twist?

My friend has a is250 (06 i believe). When I was in his car, we heard a clunk noise from the drivers side. We jacked the car up and checked the wheel for free play. It seemed to be okay. We then took the wheel off and checked the steering tie rod end.
Is it supposed to twist with such little force? I know its suppose to twist a little, but it could be twisted with two fingers easy. and it can be twisted so far that the ball joint can actually hit the knuckle (hence the clunk noise we heard). Is the tie rod done for? Thanks for your replies in advance.
