Best way to tighten Tierod end
As the title states - looking for best way to do this? Currently the bolt is spinning with the nut, it is close to tight but not all the way yet.

Re: Best way to tighten Tierod end
Tie rods have a tapered end where they seat in spindle.
An impact gun will usually work You can also use a dead blow hammer to tap tie rod into socket so it gets a (set into the taper) thus allowing you to tighten nut. May need to tap,tighten,tap,tighten a few times till it stops spinning. |

I hammered it down and the tie rod actually fits pretty well through the hole of the lift kit axle. I got on the underside and can see that the nut is all the way tightened but there is still a large gap. Not sure why that is though. |

Re: Best way to tighten Tierod end
Looks like I'll need to get some washers to make it work.

Re: Best way to tighten Tierod end
If you mean you run out of threads on tie rod bolt, agree use a washer or two to get faint to seat.😊

Take it loose and clean it. You probably got some crap in the gap.
