Lock nuts for MR inner/outer ties?

[itsmeviet]

I went to go get my megan racing inner and outer tie rods installed at hiro's. They said they think that these are suppose to come with lock nuts, where the inner and outer tie rods connect. Has anyone bought MR tie rods before and know if they come with these lock nuts? thanks

Lock plates or Lock nuts?

No they do NOT come with new lock plates. (the little plate that locks the rack to your tie rod) Yes, they do come with lock nuts. There is one nut on each side of the blue outer tie rod. You should get one nut with your inner tie rod, and one nut with your outer tie rod.

If this didn't answer your question, I can even take pictures if you like.

Yes it supposed to come with it. But I think you can use the stock ones.

Well heres a pic of them, this is pretty much what I got. Are the lock nuts shown in any of these pics?

Yes, Look at the Outer Tie End. See the blue part, there is one nut in front of that. You should get a 2nd one with your tie rod. (thats how mine was packed)

Its just a 14mm nut (i think). Just take the one off your outer tie rod, go to Ace hardware, and buy another. Probably .25 each.

you use your stock lock nuts. the lock plate on the inner tie rod wont work (if you use spacers), you're supposd to use locktie
