Difference between inner and outter tie rods?

What is the difference between inner and outter tie rods?

When I look them up online they look the same.

What/which one is the inner, and what/which one is the outter?

On my truck, the part from the lower ball joint which I thought was the tie rod has a male part adapting to a bar on both sides.

It's a 1997 7.3L lifted F250.

Thanks for any heads up on the difference between inner and outer tie rods on my rig.

Not sure where you're looking but check Moog's site: MOOG Steering & Suspension | Tie Rods – Restore like-new steering

That should give you a more clear idea what is what. Ordering by application and/or position from any good online or local parts seller should get you the correct part.

FWIW if you (wisely) choose Moog Amazon has amazing prices AND free shipping too. I've used them several times for Moog and so far they've been flawless.
