Tie rod?

A dumb related question. Is the outer tie rod the LH or RH thread? I think RH on all cars, so that screwing the sleeve "into" the outer tie rod shortens it (as if screwing a RH nut). If no standard, it seems alignment jocks would go nuts. That is what I remember on the last car I adjusted toe-in (Mercedes 300D). I ask because I have my 64 Valiant suspension apart and want to verify before I re-assemble.
