the outer and inner tie rod are connected together. The outer tie rod is the piece that connects to your strut housing, and the inner tie rod connects to the outer tie rod. The outer tie rod screws into the inner tie rod. Used to adjust toe on the front.

so you stripped the theads on the end of the tie rod where it connects through the strut housing, correct? if so then you need the outer tie rod.
