Tie Rod Question for W202 99 C230 Kompressor

I have a damaged left Tie Rod. The dealer says I have to change the piece from de left ball joint (or tie rod end) to the right ball joint, not only the piece I have broken. Can I change only the rod that is broken? How?
I have attached a picture of the piece Iīm talking about where the circle is where the damage is

Thanks a lot for your help

The W202 chassis tie rod comes only with the drag link assembly......You can get the end for the tie rod but NOT the tie rod.

It is one piece and comes with new tie rod ends on it also. I got mine from germanstar.net and it arrived very carefully packed. It was made in Italy, I forget the brand but it worked out fine. And of course you can get one from this site also. I think on this site they call it a "Tie Rod Assembly" even though usually it is called Center Link or Drag Link.
