Default Track Bar

alright so i had the death wobble problem and i bought a new track bar (rusty's). i put it on today and i noticed when i turned the wheel that in the tie rod end of the track bar there was play but the bolt was not moving. What is wrong, i'm getting pissed that i cant fix the DW! is it just a faulty track bar?

Is the tie rod end the area where it bolts into the frame mount? If so send it back.
