tie rod is the one on the end of the steering rack

Don't forget to replace the bushings. (from Brickwerks)

If it's a late one, we have had them remanufactured.
I have a couple out in the wild at the moment on long term test, once I'm happy them will be on sale.
Cost - probably about half what VW charged.
