The Tie Rod ends fit on to the Ball Joints...they are two different things.
Probably someone drove over and caught something on the ground and bent the Tie Rod somewhere along the way.
It should not have a "Vee" in it.
Being bent like that would definitely adversely effect driving stability, and or would represent an excessive 'Tow In' making it about impossible to drive straight without constant corrections and struggles with the Steering Wheel.
