Re: tie rods?

Tie rods are the adjustable link between the car and the wheels. Typically the end that is nearest the wheel has a ball joint to allow articulation. That ball joint wears out allowing play.

My first thought when you say turning and shaking is either a bent wheel or CV joints (if its front wheel drive). Please list the car and year so we can help you better.
