if you are talking about what I think you are: your tie rod end could be busted, it shouldn't move at all when tightening.

you should have to just put a jack under it and lift it up to put some pressure on it to keep it from spinning. somebody please correct me if im worng.

That is generally what has worked for me in the past. Put some pressure on the bottom of the tie rod end while tightening.
