I put in my goldline springs this weekend. And i ran into a problem. On my passenger side the tie rod bolt that connects to the strut was messed up. It wasn't letting me put on the nut. I looked at the tie rod and noticed the threads were messed up. Just the first 3 threads on one lil part. Anyway it wasn't letting me put the nut back on. I'm wondering if there is a way i can fix the threads?? Or if i have to replace the part?? If so then anyone know the part #?? Thanks in advance.

Pic to show wat i'm talking about.

you can probably get it from TRDsparks...

or you can wait for Dezod to come out for their Comp Spec front endlinks

 

thanks for the info. I'll probably call trdsparks. Is it unsafe to drive without that nut on?? I put a couple zip ties to hold it in place but i'm sure thats not going to hold it in place long.

 

i wouldnt drive too much...

if you're worried about it, go to your local dealership and pick one up

 

ite, thanks.
