74 Duster/A-Body Suspension Lock Nut Size(s)?

hi moparts fam,

i pulled apart my Duster for a transmission swap and while it was disassembled the locking nuts for the Pitman/Steering arm and tie rod ends all disappeared. i've been trying to locate the right size and haven't had any luck without having to remove them from the car. asking the experts before going ham.

thanks,
jon

It really depends on whether they are original or aftermarket tie rods and idler and pitman arms.. The nuts are different between the two.

these are what the originals looked like.

It's called a castellated nut.

You can use a die to determine thread and order new ones from many places.
