I want to replace the outer front tie rod ends that connect to the geared hub, but I'm not sure wether they are left or right hand threads, can anybody tell me for sure what thread direction they are? and if they are both the same direction of course

thanks in advance

You need to check, each tie rod assembly has a right and left threaded tire rod end, one side should be right and the other left BUT the tie rods can be installed ether way so.................
