The inner tie rod is a part of the steering function but not necessarily part of the rack itself. The inner t/r is attached to the rack and most of the time when you buy a rack the inner t/r 's are included. But if your rack is leaking then the t/r's are not your direct problem. You will need a new steering rack.
