Ah, etla, there is a difference between a broke tie rod, and a broken tie rod END. You are correct, in that in the way most cars today are made, you CAN steer a car to the side of the road with a broken tie rod end. However, if you break a tie rod, then you completely loose the connection between the steering box, and the spindle/knuckle on that side of the car, and it'll go wherever it feels like it.
And, yikes...using a tree for a leaf spring!!! You, my friend, have a bigger set of cajones than I!
