No, ball joints are mostly on wishbone ends, a track rod end is attached to the hub and leads to the track arm for the steering, or the chassis or a mounting point on the rear (but not on a 206 as it has a fixed axle).

Ball joint is the name for a type of sperical bearing where a ball sits in a cup of some sort. They are used to tranmsit forces between two parts where the angle between them varies in more than one plane.

So they are both ball joints but track rod end is used pretty much exclusively for the joints on the ends of the steering arms.

On servive box part 5 is the track rod kit that includeds the track rod end and the locking nut. The nut that joints the track rod end to the hub ( 70 )is separate (Typical tight Peugeot)
