Is he talking about the "Pittman arm" from the steering box?

Is refer to it as the Tie rod too. If your trying to buy one then I doubt you will find it listed as a Track Rod, I can't say I have heard that term before.

There is a few different names for the different arms but Drag Link and Tie Rod would be the most common I'd say.
