inner tie rod question

My GT6 failed inspection this morning - too much play at the inner end of the 
left tie rod.  Bummer.  I've done similar work on the Spitfire and I recall 
that the inner end is somewhat adjustable.

Do I recall this correctly?  

The Spitbits online catalogue shows individual entries for a zillion 
components, washers, nuts, etc at the inner end.  Since I haven't taken mine 
apart (yet) I don't know what might be broken.

Is there any reason I can't just adjust away the looseness, or should I 
disassemble it to look for wearing parts?  I'd prefer to avoid that right now.
