It also indicates that the left side would have LH threads. A new tie rod end is probably cheaper than a die. I have them with both LH and RH threads. Send me a PM or give me a call, if you want. You can find them on eBay or from many of the vendors, as well. Mike 573 864 6539 ml.russell1936@gmail.com Many miles of happy motoring
