Was bleeding brakes today and tightening connections on the front sway bars and checked tightness of nuts on tie rod ends.
Pass side nice and tight. On driver's side the nut and shaft would spin rather easily but did turn together. Everything seems tight and no noticeable slop when driving. Also noted no way to put in cotter pins- couldn't find any holes. Can't figure out why one side is tight and other side turns?? Sorry for "dumb" question!! Ball joints are new on both sides... Wondered about new tie rod ends from Pelican- figured I'll need the tool to push out the old ones, right?? |

Get rid of the nyloc and get a castle nut original with cotter pin. Old school thinking I know but why risk it!
