      I added a lock nut. I wouldn't risk not running some kind of locking feature. You will need to do a full alignment after installation. I suggest using toe plates like these (or make your own).

          I did things out of order and want to check something with my install. Does anyone have the length measurements from the tie rod end to the steering rack boot for the passenger and driver’s side?

          sorry to dredge up an old post, I wanted to keep these details contained in this thread.
