Are rhd and lhd tie rods the same?

Are rhd and lhd tie rods the same? Going in for alignment next week on my rhd fc and i want to replace them one time. from what i see, the inner and the tie rod ends fit either side of the car, i just am not sure if they fit the rhd rack.

for PS models the inners are the same part,, and the outers are the same part, wont matter if LHD or RHD

for manual steering rack
in terms of LHD and RHD ..one inner ( closer to the pinion ) [ FB02-32-240 ]is different to the other [ FB01-32-240A ] , but outers are the same as the PS model

watch out for a rogue batch of inners with some suppliers [ FB01-32-240A ]
the number itself is good but the part they are supplying is too short and with the wrong threads
the proper FC part is quite long.. the wrong one is quiet short
check the image before you commit !
