Sie, are you talking about the track rod end, that fits onto the front strut, that turns the strut when you steer? If so, it is held by a taper with a nut on top. If the nut has sheared off (never come across that before) the taper will still hold the track rod end in place. It can be shifted with a special tool called a ball joint splitter.
