The rod that goes from the steering box to the nearside hub is the drag link. The rod behind the axles that connects to both hubs is called the track rod.
The ends are the same for both but are handed. You need to work out if it is left or right hand thread by seeing which way the lock nut loosens. (right hand screws in/tightens when turned clockwise).
As had been said, you have to identify the thread required. They should follow a standard (i.e. left side of car or right side of car) but it is possible (and I have seen it) for the links to be put on "upside down" so that the wrong end is on the wrong end if you see what I mean.
