can't find a pic.
but you have an outer tie rod end at the pitman arm. that's connected to a long tie rod (connecting rod). this has a non replaceable tie rod end and is connected to your passenger side steering knuckle.
now just short of that about a few inches up is an inner tie rod end that is connected to a center link or drag link (or tie rod) and another outer at the drivers side steering knuckle.
so you have two outers, an inner and a long.

welcome to jeeps inverted "y" steering setup.

go to morris 4X4 and search for parts. they have diagram that is numbered and click on it and takes you to part to buy. plus they are much cheaper than most i have seen. also from what I hear, the ZJ tie rod ends bolt in and are stronger.
