Hello from Brisbane.
A quick question on securing tie rod ends on a Series.
The old ones that were on my truck had a castellated nut and split pin to secure them to the pitman arms, steering arms etc. Must note that the PO was fairly economical with the split pins - most were missing....
The new ones that I bought some time ago from a now defunct outlet here in Brisbane just have a washer and nyloc nut with no hole through the threaded end were one to seek to use a castellated nut. I only found this out today when I went to fit them.
My question - is this the way they come these days? Just nyloc nuts?
Cheers,
Neil
