Just order a pair of new tie rod end links and replace both of them, they come as a complete set with new washers, spacers, bushings, and nuts...
That is the sure fire way to fix the problem with out any guess work

This is an elaberation on my post form before
The old tie rod ends usually woren quite thin by the time we get our cars. The old link botls may not even withstand the setting torque required to properly tighten the new nuts on, nor the pounding they are gonna take from trying to break the old nuts loose.
It just sounds to me like you are throughing good money at bad by trying to replace just the nuts...
