I would not drive that until you have fixed it. If that comes apart on the road the consequences could be catastrophic.

And yes it probably seems obvious what it is now and would have been quicker to pull it off and figure it out myself. But I just couldn't comprehend how it was attached at the time and with the other end tie rod threads being seized I didn't want to use too much force to undo it without understanding what I was doing... I'll put it down to somewhat reduced mental ability this week.
And even though it looks like its just the sleeve rattling I don't really like the idea of a loose sleeve rattling and possibly wearing or at least hiding wear on the actual track rod so I think I will just replace the whole thing.
