What is the diference between the inner and outer Tie rods?
Everything looks the same, except that it looks like one is reverse threaded. Is that right? and if so which is the inner and which is the outer.
Thanks for the Help

Inner non-greasable, outer has zerk fitting for greasing.

Take another look. Inner has a zerk in the end(90* from stud) to clear the crossmember. Outer has zerk 180* from the stud.

Left and right hand threads - otherwise the adjusting sleeve would not adjust length of two connected tie rods.

i have the inner & outter arms from PST- and they are identical, except two are reverse thread, and two are normal thread. Both types have zerk fittings 180deg from the stud (on the back of the head). The inners i'm replacing had the zerk on the end of the head...
so in this case, does it matter which becomes the inner and outter?
Going to hit Napa tomorrow and see if they have a 90deg zerk fitting i can replace the straight fittings So i could actually grease the inner rods after they are installed...
