Do you mean the tie rods or are you just looking there and see a part that looks bent? if both tires are wearing uneven, it could be just a rear wheel alignment that you need. did you just buy this car? it's possible something under the car is bent from a previous accident, but if you had this car for awhile and this problem just began then it may be just an alignment........good luck..p.s......if both tires are wearing uneven then it's unlikely a" rod "is bent , there would have to be a " rod " bent on both sides which is too coincidental.

Ok so I have a nissan versa 2016 model and my tires in rear were wearing on the inside of them so I got a rear end alignment done but I after that I have noticed another issue

Springs are sagging or suspension is bent. Could be worn bushings causing components to be out of position. Springs support the weight and the shocks dampen the bounce so he doesnt keep bouncing- if it does then you need shocks. The sagging indicates something else is wrong.

Front passenger tire is wobbling almost like a bent rim but not the problem

Check the wheel rim for distortion. Check the tyre for distortion. Check the wheel bearing for wear. Check the steering track rod end and ball joint for wear. Check the brake disk for distortion.
If you have done all that, then you will have likely already found the cause of the problem.

2001 Jeep wrangler, at 45-50 mph, the front end and steering wheel shakes real bad.

I would start by first making sure you dont have a bent rim. Check the tires for any bubbles in the sidewall or any deformation in the tire as this would suggest a broken cord inside the tire. If that checks out, get the tires balanced and see if that solves the problem.

Sounds like your alignment is out, take it and get it balanced, If not that then something has broken in the rear end causing your tire to wear wrong
