Track bar???help

Hey all, I have a 96 Cherokee and was looking up parts cause the guy at the shop I go to says I need a new "track bar". But I did see a track bar listed for front end parts. Older years have the track bar listed. Is the "tie rod" the same thing for my year or am I missing something here? Kinda stuck! Any help or advice would help!

The track bar may be listed as "chasis parts". It keeps the front axle centered L/R.

The tie rod is a steering part that ties the front wheels together.

This the the track-bar

If you want, I can send you (Just pay shipping) the track-bar pictured here, it's for a 1.5-4.5" lift, I have a 5.5" so it wasn't enough, I even have the mount from the body.
