So i fitted a new rack into my car as mine was rooted.
Anyway after completing the install i noticed my old tie rod ends wouldnt fit as the thread was wrong. So i went to Bursons and picked up a set of new ones with a matching thread.
Im told there are 2 different kinds and the only difference is the thread size on the shafts.
Now my issue is that the rack and tie rod ends did not come with locking nuts, so the wheel alignment wont hold in place. a quick call to bursons they tell me these special racks dont need locking nuts and never come with them...WRONG.... im good mates with many mechanics and they all say it HAS to have a locking nut which makes sense as it just flops around without a locking nut..
So What series rack has the finer thread? as my old rack was a larger thread then this new one. And where the hell can i get a set of locking nuts from. I went to holden and they knew nothing about it and only had 1 type of nut on there database which i have ordered in for 70 cents to try it.
