ES355RL is inner. I think it's the left-hand thread.
ES352R is the outer. I think that's the right-hand thread.
It doesn't make a lot of difference, as long as you are consistent, and can keep straight on which way to turn each to shorten or lengthen during alignment.

The ones with Right Hand Threads for the sleeve are the Outer (352R)
The ones with Left Hand Threads are Inner (355RL).

When you pull the old tie rods, try not to disturb the length much. Then adjust the new set to match the old length. It's hard to get it exactly right, but it'll get you in the ballpark. Also, try to get the same amount of thread showing on either end of the sleeve.

seems good... I'll check on rockauto

I think I remember checking on firmfeel and their set of upgraded tie rods was about 100 bux too... they just have the reputation of being pricey but actually some products are priced about the same as other stores...

No I think firmfeel wants about $175 for these when I looked last time. I thought about doing this as part of my front end swap, but I think I'll just have a welder close the seam on my existing ones and call it good enough.
