Not really sure how to answer this, as the two are completely different words and mean completely different things. Maybe with a little more context, we can help better.
For now.. "Ausdruck" can mean multiple things, first things that comes to mind is "expression".
"Wendung" is a change of some sort. I would use it for example when describing a "plot twist" in a movie or a book.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.
dict.cc offers "expression" as one of the possible meanings of "die Wendung". Is it hardly ever used to mean "expression"?
Thank you.

Ah I see. I have never heard "Wendung" used in that way. Only "Redewendung" which then means "idiom" or "figure of speech". Maybe in other parts of Germany that might be used as a short version of "Redewendung".
