Are they the same either side?

It's been a long time since I changed a tie rod end, and probably 25 years since I've changed an inner tie rod, I seem to recall them being LH or RH thread on the outer end.

i thought that bit is part of the rack as supplied , and i don't think there handed .

Citroen Xantia ones aren't handed the same part fits both sides. I guess as they have to be the same length they aren't handed on the 131 either.

Both RH threads. I stripped and rebuilt the rack yesterday. The previous owner had replaced the plastic rack bush with a turned brass bush, which had at least 0.5mm play in it, that with 2 stuffed inner tie rods meant a fair bit of steering play.
