On the way home from Johnny M's visit I lost the nut to my outer tie rod.
As I pulled into my drive way the tie rod caught the driveway and was damaged, probably could have used it by why risk it.
Finally pulled it and replaced it. Also noticed the nut to the idler arm came off !!! WTF!!!
OK, so I can only guess that I forgot to put the cotter pins in??? :roul
Well thank God nothing worse happened! I check all the steering torque ratings and put new cotter pins in everywhere. Then took it down to the local shop for an alignment!
All is well just got back from a nice drive.
