Quote: Just amazing reading this thread, How a simple problem is made to sound so difficult
Lets see they were $4 tie rods, with too short castle nuts shipped with them , so get the right nut or space with washer. Then again the new cars just use Nyloc nuts now.
On the recall, totally different problem, defective manufacturing the allows the ball to pull out of the socket , nothing to do with a short castle nut
It is a $15 moog tie rod end and about $30 with shipping - not sure where you get your parts but I need the details....
I gotta get some props for starting the thread of the week-I took the nuts off the rod tonight - threads looked ok - I have a ball joint seperator coming in Wednesday to pull the joint and not damage it so I can post pictures and hopefully prove someone right...replace the rod anyway since I am there again.
