Ok, I am mechanically retarded, so do both of the rod ends need to be the same thread pattern? I went on summit to buy the ends and some are rights and threaded and some are left hand threaded. I love this mod and want to get it done ASAP, so help can somebody help a brother out?

You can get the rod ends on speedway motors for about $4 each. I got mine in one day for $18.01 with shipping. (Sign up on their site and you get $5 off your order)
