300TE Tie Rod End Left or Right Threads?

I need to replace the tie rod end on the driver's side of my '91 300TE (torn boot). Is there an easy way to tell if my tie rod end has left or right hand threads without removing?

As far as I know all tie rod ends have a "normal" right hand thread.

my opinion is to just replace the entire assembly when it needs it, one tierod alone is about $35.00 not sure why the whole assy is $50.00, the number is 124 330 08 03, and is around $50.00, or get a good boot from the wrecking yard

Fastlane had the option of Left or Right threads listed when I was looking to order. I'll just order the whole assembly. Thanks for the help.

Didn't realize the whole assy was that cheap, I'll go that route. Thanks for the help.
