No, it has inner tie rods. I had to replace mine a while back as well.

Might as well do the other side as the same time, and check out the outer tie rod ends as well. It's only a matter of time before they go, too. Another thing you might want to check out are the ball joints. They wear out usually around the same time as tie rod ends.

On suspension stuff, I'd go oem. Stay away from ebay specials.
