Track rod /ball joint

Anyone tell me which is the right ball joint, for the passenger side ball joint from the steering arm .

As far as I recall, the swan neck has a left hand thread, so you should be getting a RH thread, hence your part number seems to be correct (also when you buy a kit with 3 ball joints, you get 2x RH).
Of course this is as long as you still have the Defender drop arm.

Edit: I refer to the drag link rather than the track rod. For the track rod, there is always the possibility that someone had inverted the ends. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
