3 track rod ends?

[cawl]

hi people, do disco`s have 3 track rod ends?(2 on the track rod,1 on the drag link bar) if not what is the 3rd one called and is it rh or lh thread i`m confused !!!!!!!!

What disco would that be?.. Later D1's have 4 ball joints, 2 x track rod, 2 x drag link.

N/s drag link is LH and n/s track rod is RH.

hmmm... a 96 n reg 300 tdi i can see 2 joints on the track rod which is behind the drag bar which has 1, they all look similar but i`m guessing 1 may be different

Two ball joints on the track rod, both rh threaded.
Two ball joints on the drag link, one lh threaded, one rh threaded

The only difference is the thread. Loads of ball joints on ebay, cheapie, OME and genuine. Ie...
