Tie Rod Replacement

I recently brought my 2004 SRX in to have the transfer case replaced and when they call me to tell me how much it would cost they informed me that I had another problem. They said the right front tie rod was so loose it was going to fall off and that I should not even drive the car. They also said that it was an unusual tie rod in that the entire power steering gear had to be replaced and not just the tie rod. Can you show me how?
