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?? |

Fyi, I just bought a brand new Lemforder turbo tie rod and it had a nylon nut, not the castle nut.
Bought it from a legit source. |
