stupid question on tie rod
« on: September 15, 2010 - 07:45:50 AM »
tie rod ends "L" or "R" at end of part number is for driver (L) or passenger (R) ?  Doing all of them at once and have never done more than one at a time in the past so never really payed attention to orentation.

one L and one R on each side of the car.  the letters stand for thread direction (left hand/right hand).  Screw them into the sleeves first and you'll see what I mean.
