I put in a reman Rack and Pinion along with new tie rod ends...but, im debating wether i am supposed to have jam nuts? they didnt come with the kit, so im assuming some dont need them?? in order to adjust the tie rod end, you have to drop it from the spindle and thread more or less to align the toe?
str8 noob. thnx

Any nut will do with the correct thread? Or is there a specific nut for tie rods?

not sure of the size, anything that fits will work.

and to adjust the toe you spin the inner ti-rod, the outers stay in place. The jam nuts are there so that the inners cannot spin when the nut is tightened up against the outers.
