Assuming your trackrod is the same, it should the passenger side (RH ) tierod and all other are RH thread.

I just twisted off the wheel end of the drag rod. Seems it was left hand thread. Going to have to replace the drag link.

If you are going to replace all 4 tie rods (& you should) then LEMFORDER is the way to go. Never had an issue with these on LR, BMW, MZB, etc....

If you're looking for a drag link there's some D1's on the AutoPartsCity in Waukegan, IL.
Otherwise Paul Grant or Drillbit on here should be able to get you a good used one.
