fwiw, i sent Nick at FCP the photo with the 2 different tie rods. He said both were correct.

I would probably return one of them and get 2 of the same kind though.

I've got a ton of respect for Nick, but those are clearly two different out tie-rods in the picture....The one on the right is thiner than the one on the left (unless its just the picture)...but it also appears to have a different thread on it...perhaps its just two different OE supplier...Either way, I wouldn't want two different parts going on my car that were supposed to be identical on both side...there is no left or right outer tie-rod..

I had some problems with the once from FCP. The main bold (threaded portion) sheared right off when I tightened it. I wasn't applying much force. I think they were defective. I went to the dealer to get reamed instead. I sent the set back to FCP and of course they reimbursed me. I've never had trouble with any other parts from them.
