Hi Vintage:

Actually Packard called those things "Taper Ball Joints".

There is one part number for the left hand thread, and one number for the right hand thread. So you can put them on as you please with left hand thread to the left side of the car and right hand thread toward the right side of the car.

The torque is 45-50 ft lbs and should be followed to avoid distorting the steering arms.
