Outer tie rod lock nut size
Does anyone know the size/pitch of the nut on the inner tie rod that secures the outer tie rod? I seemed to have misplaced mine in the huge bin of rebuild parts and I don't exactly want to drag my entire steering rack to Lowe's to find the right size if someone knows off hand.

If you're talking about the tie-rod end lock nut, it's 12 x 1.25.....not sure about hex, but probably 17.
Oops, just notice that's in the title!

Yeah I was after the lock nut. I came to the same conclusion after checking with a thread gauge (and eye-balling the size). Unfortunately, stupid Home Depot only carries M12 stuff with a 1.75 pitch. Now I get to wait 2 days on an order from McMaster. Thanks billyboy.
