Just purchased new inner and outer tie rods for my 2001 boxster 2.7. When I go replace them the car only has one piece tie rod and its definitely a different fit. All the videos I see has two pieces but my car only has one. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What you're trying to replace is not a tie rod. It's a link. Tie rods connect to the steering rack.
