Ok i Bought the Tie-Rods and everything else ( Center link hoohaa) and i'm trying to put them in but i dont have a locking nut for the "left handed Thread". I have a right handed one but not the lefthanded one. Normal stores like Lowes and Homedepot and Autozone dont have them...

Need an idea on were to get them. Theres a store in Tiverton that near Both Gene and i but i dont remember the name of the damn store.

i think the bolt's a 22MM ... i think.

Any Suggestions.

You bought the Tie-rod-ends, the Tie-rod adjusters, or the Tie-rod assembly?
What ever you bought did not come with a lock nut?
Did you lose the one that was on the old part?
Where did you buy the new part?

I believe 22mm is the nut that holds the tie-rod-end to the center-link and to the spindle.

NAPA sells the assembly (NAPA part # BA1014740) so should sell the nut.

I bought the Tie rod ends ( both inners and outer separately )

I bought the after market adjustors from AC.

And my old ones i throw away, cause the tierod ends were shot. i never even though of the locking nuts.

Hmm, seems odd that adjusters would come without lock nuts. I?d try calling AC and bitching ?how can you send me adjusters with no lock nuts?. You can tell them the old ones are frozen and WTF (instead of ?I threw the old ones out before I got the new ones? ).

After they disappoint you try NAPA.

The NAPA adjuster is part # NCP2691183. It costs about $30 and comes with both lock nuts.

I think you might be right that nut is 22mm.


I tried searching for the nut alone but can?t find it, sorry. You might try a junk yard or buy the whole adjuster from NAPA and carry a spare. That?s as far as my thinking takes me, hope it helps a bit.

Derek the place is called Aquidnick Fasteners.

I can also check my old one to see if it still has the nuts on them.

that nut comes with the TRE... call and bitch to who ever you bought it from... otherwise just re use the old ones, they will fit.

He threw them away.

Derek you should have learned from that incident to never throw away old parts! Shot or not they can still get you home in an emergency...

... those were not mine that made it into the trash, were they?

they are 22mm. i did it on sunday. never throw anything away!!! try ACE or fastenal they have all the awesomest stuff. or nissan as a last resort

No mike yours are on the the truck still. I believe Rome's got my old ones. When i put them in the trash i didn't think that they would sell either the Ends or adjustors with out nuts... i just can't understand that.

From when i was talking to you i understood it as there no good... ( not even for emergency )... my bad. Well if anyone can help that would be Awesome. For the time being if i can unfreeze yours Mikes can i use your Left handed nut?......... ( That might of sounded bad ) haha...
