Does it matter which end goes on what, cant see any difference between the ball joints so does it matter?
Just cos I can confirm at some point my outer ball joint in the kit was bolted to the inner tie arm

It doesn't matter but, from memory (you can't trust mine) the factory put the LHT ones on the inside and the RHT on the outside. I think.

Yup.

Had my Moog ones turn up Wednesday. Both inner and outer are identical bar the thread!

More than that.......
All from Rockauto in a big order with other Moog stuff = Idle Arm, Pitman Arm, 2x Inner TR, 2x Outer TR, 2x Upper Ball Joint and some other steering/brake stuff.
Edit....Just checked actual Tie rods were only £7.20 minus the club 5% (
), so less than £7.......Until you add shipping.......

Put a thankyou to rock auto in the traders bit, shows we care
They may give us the same discount next year as well
Was the service quick? How much was all that shipping?

Yes bud.
Ordered Thursday PM UK and it arrived following Wednesday AM (6 days inc Bank Holiday).
I learnt a good lesson after ordering other parts last time. If you can, make sure you order all the parts you can from the same warehouse. The shipping is substantially cheaper.
First time i ordered three parts all from different locations and £15 in parts (not heavy and small) cost £75 to my door.......
This time, all the above Moog parts, a power steering pressure hose and 2 brake hoses for the front wheels (£194 in parts with discount) cost just £54 in shipping to my door. Add VAT (£39) and i don't think its too bad.
Also get fridge magnets every time i get a box. Nice Charger this time.......
Will post a thanks on the Trader thread (only one of the codes work btw)!
