although there is this rod that makes the wheel

Raise the car put on stands. Grasp wheel on left and right side,( ign. off steering wheel locked).

Pull and push on wheel, do the same top to bottom, if any play in tie rod, ball joints they would need to be replaced.

You can remove the tie rod (remove cotter pin and castle nut) using a puller. Scribe the position of the old tie rod to get toe close, but you will have to get toe checked at an alignment shop.
