We call steering link ends, tie rod ends.

Track rod ends here.

In US automotive parlance, a track rod or a track bar, is a specific
kind of
link between a solid rear axle and the body. It runs parallel to the
rear
axle.

Either I haven't seen one of those or it's what I would know as an
anti-roll
bar.

Panhard rod in the UK / Europe (after the guy who invented it about
1900...) - mkes a real difference to the way a leaf-sprung (cart-sprung?)
rear end behaves, and with a rear beam axle plus trailing arms and coil
springs is *essential* to locate the rear axle sideways.
