tie rod ends
Yes.
Take out the cotter pin.
Loosen up the nut and hit with a hammer (do not hit the one that's on the pitman arm, use a puller).
Unscrew, noting the length that they were previously installed (to maintain wheel alignment)
Put on the new ones.
Torque to 55 ft lbs <---don't quote me..
Put in a new cotter pin,
Grease them and drive.
(lube every 6k miles)
