I believe the factory had the left hand thread tie rod ends to the inside.  It shouldn't matter functionally, tne alignment guy will just have to turn the sleeve the other way to adjust.

I'm rebuilding my front end now and mine are:
Passenger - Lefthand Outer, Righthand Inner
Driver - Lefthand Inner, Righthand Outer.

I believe they are factory because my car only has 76,000 miles, but I'm rebuilding the front end completely just for the hell of it.  Also, I'd like to mention how the replacement tie rods are a little different than the originals, so I'm not as confident that I'll get them threaded on in the right spot.
