Suspension Part ID?

So when installing my struts I noticed this bushing smashed and leaking grease. I've searched around and still not positive exactly what part it is. Can anyone ID?

That's your outer tie rod end. That's the connection from your rack and pinion gear to turn the wheel.

And see that big bolt sticking out 2 - 3 inches below the tie rod end? That's the wheel turn stop. Put some grease on the end of it so it wont make a creaking noise when you have the wheels fully turned.

What he said, get the Moog tie rod ends, they are grease-able.
