Default Which Tie-Rod is which? With pics

In short, the garage said I needed the driver side inner end, and showed me where it was. I went to autozone with this, and what they gave me definitely did not work. Could someone identify the tie-rod ends for me real quick?












Basically #2, the one that isn't there, is the most important. Thanks so much. I was told it was driver side inner.

Yeah, I know where they all go... problem is, autozone/advance auto parts, both refer to them by either drivers side or passenger side, and then inner or outer.

If you are talking about the tie rod, nothing. It will work either way.
