Default What the hell is a steering rod/arm?

Got a buddy of mine offering to sell me a HD steering rod? I know the name of most all the steering components under my jeep and a "steering rod" doesnt pop into my head... Am i missing something? Or is there a second alias i dont know about for a track bar which is what im guessing he's talking about

I'm sure he means tie rod. The bar that connects the drag link to the driver's side steering knuckle.

Its the rod that prevents death wobble. It's the latest on the market.

It's the Tie-rod. I've heard a lot of people call them steering rods.
