[DeTomaso] Front upright question

All,

I need to replace my left side front spindle and only have a good used spare right side.  Does anyone know for sure if left and right uprights/spindles have the same geometry?  Looks like the only differences is the bolt on arms for outer tie rod and reverse threaded spindle on the newer cars.  I have an early car with right hand thread on both sides anyway).

Also, any place I could find torque spec for those tie rod arm attachment bolts?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
George
