    Inner tie rod end. How did it break? Are you sure that’s the only part that’s needed? At least replacing the outer tie rod end at the same time would be a good idea.

    Inner tie rod (I’d get the corresponding outer tie rod too), although it kinda seems like it’s too short for it to be simply snapped? Plus if you hit something and caused this there’s likely more damage not yet obvious to you.

    Regardless, it’s not too difficult of a job for an experienced tech, but you need a good inner tie rod remover tool and you need to have the car aligned afterwards. Assuming that’s the only thing broken or bent. It’s probably in your best interest to have a indy shop do it.

    Like the other people said, inner tie rod end. Have to replace that boot too most likely, or at least the clamps that hold it on. In a case like this you need to decide if you want to just do the inner tie rod end or replace the whole steering rack, which usually comes with inner tie rod ends installed. Doing the rack will cost more but If the rack is leaking I would do the rack. And outer tie rod ends at the same time
