Default Tie rods

For the s10 blazer, are the tie rods different for 4wd models and 2wd models or are they the same? I'm asking because I think I accidentally received the wrong tie rod in the mail from suspension.com. It looked almost identical except for the grease zerk placement and the boot style.

check the part numbers for what you ordered to what you received - from what I can tell by looking at the rockauto site I don't think they are interchangeable

They're the same part numbers. Here's a picture of them
I realize I cut off the bottom threads, but they're the same size. The top is the one that came in yesterday, which is different from the picture on their website.

Thank you. I don't think so either. It's just that I don't want to put on the wrong parts for my blazer.
