Track rod ends should only be adjusted in conjunction with a realignment machine, but if you want to do it anyways.........
Find the track rod end, the piece that is attached to the wheel end and the steering rack, it has 2 flats (one either side) on the ball joint end, and a nut locked down onto it. Use a spanner on the flats to hold one part while you use a spanner to slacken the nut. Once the nut is slack, undo the nut under the ball joint and separate the ball joint from the carrier either with a proper splitter or by leaving the nut on (but without the threaded part showing through) and hitting it with a hammer. Be careful because if you damage the threads then you will have to replace the track rod end. Depending on which car and which side, the thread may also be left handed!!!
This question and answer is a legitimate response from someone in the U.K.
This is a valid answer, But the first line is the best advice. If the track bar is not adjusted properly, the first thing to go will be the tires. Over time from the tracking bar pulling the frame awkwardly, the frame will slightly twist and make the car track off to the side. This is like when you see those cars that the front end is about 2 to 4 inches to the left or right of the rear end.

How do you adjust a vehicle tracking?
That depends on weather you need to adjust the camber, caster, or toe... The toe is the easiest to adjust that is done by screwing the tie rod ends in or out depending on what you need.. Camber and caster is much more difficult but that is done by adding shims to the upper control arm.. But I would recommend taking your car to the shop for an alignment that should cost between $50 to $100 to make sure all is done right..
