Must be tie rods.

To replace, buy new ones. After loosening the two bolts that keep the sleeve tight.

Remove cotter pins and castle nuts.

Use fork for seperation.

Then unscrew them, counting the turns.

Replace with new tie rod end [either inner or outer] counting the turn so that they are roughly in the same place that the old ones were.

Tighten castle nuts and install cotter pins

DON'T SKIP COTTER PINS, YOU HAVE TO INSTALL THEM.

Get the car aligned
