How does one tell what thread is needed on the track rod end with out taking the old one off first?
I need a passenger side TRE for my 86 110.

So if the rod is correct there should be a conventional right thread on the passenger side and a left thread on the drivers side?

I'd just buy both and changed both at least you know it's sorted for a while.
Maybe......what state is the other in? It could be worth replacing both, and then they're done. That way you'll need one of each

RTC5870 - left hand thread, RTC5869 - right hand thread (drivers side). According to my 1987 parts manual.

Yes you are it's also a RTC5869.
I bought me one of these when I did mine and it makes life a lot easier and doesn't damage the ball joint rubber jobbers either like the hammer one I've got.

+1. They are not expensive even if you go for the more expensive brands. I have just changed all of mine.
