I guess you mean TIE rods . -If so, it's the ball at the outer end that wears most. If your car has done over 50,000 then they will almost certainly need to be changed. To check, remove the front wheels, take the rod in your hand and twist it, if it moves very easily, then you need to change it. It will need alignment afterwards.
What else can I help you with?

If you mean that the front end feels like it is drifting, check the tie rods and ball joints. Sounds like you have something worn out. Answer Don't forget to check tire pressure and if tie rods and ball joints are OK check the toe.

I would check tire balance and check for warped rotors, first. Check tires for blisters and check the steering linkage for worn parts.
Will bad tire rods cause shaking while driving?
Worn tie rod ends will cause loose steering, and therefore drifting from side to side, and can also cause shaking. There are many other causes of shaking or vibration, but none of them are good. Get the problem repaired before you end up in the ditch, or worse.I also noticed you used the term "tire" rods rather than "tie" rods, and might be referring to tire cords or belts. Broken cords or belts in a tire will cause the entire wheel to be out of balance and will therefore cause shaking. A tire with broken cords or belts is extremely unsafe and should be replaced immediately.
When is it time to replace tie rods?
When they are worn (have play).
Car shake 65 mph?
You mean "shakes at 65?" If so, a possible cause is an out of balance tire. I would check that all tire lug nuts are there and tight and check for warped rotors. Check tires for blisters and check the steering linkage for worn parts.
