Default CavFab tie rod flop

'99 XJ, 5 inch lift, I installed the high clearance tie rod and drag link, It drives real nice, really tightened up the steering. I clocked the heims on the tie rod, but the flop keeps coming back.
The tie rod has both right and left hand threading on the heims, does it matter what side (passenger or driver) the right hand or left hand threading is on ? The area I live has speed bumps,
the flop when driving around here is getting pretty annoying.
