tie rod install question?
I did my tein tie rod/ tie rod end install today. they went on quickly and easily. But I have one question? I nstalled it with the optional spacer ring (for better steering) and the little ring that was bent over the original tie rod , the one thats bettween the tie rod and the steering rack that keeps it from turning loose, dosnt reach now that the spacers in place. I was wondering if it is really that important for the new tie rods or can I drive and not worry about the rod coming loose on me. I made sure I tightened the rod in there as good as I could, but wasnt sure?

..with the spacers out there's less thread but that's ok..i just went ahead and used some aedhesive...some loctite or something like that to make EXTRA sure...don't you like the feel of the teins? also, when/if you can upgrade the tie rod ends, it'll be sweet. instead of ball joint tie rod ends, you can get joint ends (ex. kazama) good luck
