Default “Rear tire rod”

When I acquired my 2005 EZGO TXT PDS the previous owner told me the only thing that needed fixed was a fractured “rear Passenger side tire rod”. Now I am new to golf carts but pretty sure he was referring to a tie rod and pretty sure they don’t exist on the rear. I have looked at the tie rods in front and don’t see any fractures but I also don’t know what they should look like. I have attached a couple pictures. Anyone see anything that needs replaced?

Is it possible he was referring to the rear leaf spring, bushings, or shackles? Maybe he called the Axle a "tire rod". If it were me, I'd contact the seller for clarification.

First thing I did was ask the seller for more details. He said his kids backed over a curb and he was worried it may have damaged something. He said his buddy who’s isn’t a golf cart expert looked under and said he had a fractured rear passenger tire rod and to call a shop to get it fixed. That is all the information he had other than his buddy saying it wasnt urgent but should eventually be fixed.

What Roger said to check for bad tie rod.👍
There are no rear tie rods. Tie rods are a part in the steering linkage.
How does cart drive,ride?
