Default Tie Rod Assembly Nut

Purchased a new Tie Rod Assembly with tow bar and they only shipped one nut!!

Am I missing something here, or do I only need one?

Take the tie rod end to the hardware store and tell them you need a hex nut for it. There are about a quarter. You don't need stainless, just zinc plated.......

You threw me with "tow bar" but a standard tie rod nut I believe is a 5/16 fine thread

I think the tow bar is what hooks to that "ghost" spindle arm on the right side! Ever wondered what that is for? I hear it is somehow for towing.......

Just snug it up tight enuf to make the tie rod end "seat" into the tie rod. Since the tie rod nut id castellated, you are fine if you insert a cotter pin.

Ok, silly question....

With the same amount of ball joint threads on each end, left tire is makeing a sharp right, while right tire is straight.

Can I get this toed in correctly?

Or do I need to turn the ball joint in more and start from a pretty close straight?
