Guess I never saw tierod ends do that before, most likely from not paying attention. Odd though, you would think that as it twists, would thread out from the tie rod itself. not like it would alter the alignment all that much, but still ...

well they twist because the inner tie rod is on a ball to so yea it might twist a bit but its totally normal.
