tie-rod lock plate

[davem]

Where the heck do you guys get these things? My go-to parts store (autopartsway.ca) states that the tie-rod assemblies for sale don't come with them, and they don't appear to have it available by itself:

Bonus points if the store ships to/has a Canadian version.
Number 3 is the part I'm talking about btw:

blunt tech, cheap and fast shipping or you can go to the dealer for about 2X the money

if you are doing an E36 rack swap, you need to use the E36 lock tabs, the E30 ones will fit, but due to a lack of support, they will shear and allow the tie rod to walk out.

i would use red loctite too

And I think there are 2 kinds of e36 ones? no?

This is for a 91' 325i btw. Stock rack.

i would just look up the PN on REALOEM and email it to blunt. y the time you hit send, it is usually at your door.

BAM!
