Hi Stitch,
That long rod is called the drag link.
The ends are your tie rod ends. If the part pops off the ball, it's wore plum out. You remove the end and the ball and put a new part on there. The new part is inseparable (until it too wears out in 25+ years).

The parts are available from McMaster-Carr online. I believe you need the 3/8-24 for both the female and ball stud. There are other threads on here telling exactly what you need. Search for mcmaster and you should find them.
