1988 Chevy Cavalier tie rod

Hello, the problem I have is the tie rods on my cavalier are different. I recently got into an accident and one tie rod isn't attached to the ball joint and on the driver side it is, but on the driver side, the ball joint isn't attached to the suspension I think and on the passenger (accident) side the ball joint is attached to the suspension but not the tie rod. Can you tell me which is correct?
