Jam nuts and rod ends.

Sounds like pron.

Hello Gentlemen,

Ideas on marking the L/R threaded ends so I can determine which is which in a few years. Without finding my magnifying glass!

Colored sharpies or paint markers

Either that, or scribe an arrow in the tighten direction, with a bar at the bottom of the arrow, making it a sort of T: I--> If it's the same on all of them, you can likely figure it out by the second one.

If they go front/back, I usually install the bars so that the LH end will be on my left when i'm adjusting them. If the bars go side/side, i put the LH to the left side of the car.

There's often a notch on the vertices of a LH bolt/nut. If yours don't have them, it's easy to add. As a bonus, it's a standard so some other mechanic is less likely to be cussing you out if he doesn't understand a faded 10-year-old sharpie mark.

That is brilliant, you win 10 internets Keith

Zip tie the left ones together?

Keith beat me to it.

I've been using LH nuts and rod ends for years and while noticed the notches in the LH nuts I didn't put 2 & 2 together and figure out what's it's purpose. Now I know!

Ditto! I can say I learned something today. Thank you GRM...
