Well there is a chassis end point from one part number to the other. It doesnt state anything about thread diameter.

Now another query - go on there and look at the drawing and part numbers, it appears to imply that both outside tie rod ends would be RH thread. Wouldnt one outer on one side of the car be RH, and the other outer on the other side of the car be LH, so that they could both be turned the same way to align?

Plenty of places specify whether their parts are LH or RH versions, so Im not terribly concerned with that, I need to determine which thread I need for the RF outer position... My initial question was more oriented towards if I should stick with 16mm parts or go 14mm, in light of part availability, the 14mm being common and available, etc. Is there any "pro" to staying with 16mm, e.g. strength or something?

Thanks!
