I Take it you mean Track Rod End. Yes it does unscrew, But normally there a Bitch to undo & require some heat on the Lock nut Etc to get them to budge.
There are normally some flats on the Track Rod & on the threaded rod that goes into the Steering Rack Gaitor, Use a spanner or a good set of grips to secure the rod & then crack the locking nut (Maybe a left hand thread !!! Some where). Remove the Lock nut off the top of the Track rod (may have a split pin in the Nut) If you don't have a Track rod splitter, Leave the nut just proud of the thread & then hit it with a hammer to drift the rod through.Then crack & wind off the track rod end, Counting the full turns Etc to enable a rough guide of refitting in the same place. Once replaced get the car tracked up again.
