1988 4runner tie-rod ends

Looking for any advice on tie-rod end replacements.
I am looking at the Sankei 554 Tie Rods but the notes on the items say "one assembly fits either left or right side". There are 2 different part numbers though, and 2 different prices. Can anyone clear this up for me.
Thanks
Jason

The two parts numbers are refering to an inner and an outer tie rod. These 2 are different, but the pair (inner and outer) can work on either the passenger or drivers side of the vehicle.

Thanks, just figured that one out after reading up on it. Go figure, HA.
Any brand recommendations? Budget is always an issue but I dont want things failing obviously.
