I know the tie rod ends are identical except for reverse threading. The question is, which one (outer or inner), has the reverse threads?

I know it doesn't matter from a functional stand point...

but I have 2 new Moog ends in my spare box with the regular (righty tighty leftie loos-E) threads...and I don't know the part number from Rock Auto (outer or inner)...I wanted to order the matching pair and a center link so I could re-re-build my steering.

I could always call Rock Auto and figure it out...but I thought I would ask here if anyone knew off hand which was which.

normal thread righty tighty are the outers. Moog part number es3466. I kept the box when I replaced them and still had the old ones in the moog boxes to make sure.
