Tie rods
Reassembly 0f front suspension. Question...does the left hand thread end of the tie rod attach to the drag link or the steering knuckle on the spindle assembly? I'm assuming when both are installed, they are mirror image with respect to each other (left hand thread on the steering knuckle of drag link for both sides or right hand thread end on the steering knuckle on both sides). Thanks for any help.

Left hand threaded tie rod ends go on the steering arms. The right hand threads go on the relay rod.
That way when you rotate both sleeves between the tie rod ends in the same direction (and the same amount), one side will shorten, the other side will lengthen by equal amounts. The adjustment does not affect the toe of your front wheels.
