Can anyone explain why they would make the ends different. One end gets its lube from the middle and the other from the inner end. The tie rod ends do not appear that way. Dave

You might not be able to get the grease gun on when mounted to the truck, big trucks are this way.

Only one manufacturer, it's one piece with two different ends. Jim Carter must have known they were different because when I ordered the kit it worked fine, not the same kit as tie rod. Greasing it may be the reason but now sure.
