Replacing LBJ’s as well as inner/outer tie rod assemblies using Toyota factory OEM parts.
All good until I go to install inner tie rod and notice the washer that secures the inner tie rod to the rack (the one that needs to be staked) is smaller than the original one I removed.
Smaller to the point where it cannot be staked. Given the smaller size I don’t see how it would possibly serve it’s original purpose of preventing the inner tie rod from loosening from the end of the rack.
Am I missing something here?
These are dealer supplied parts.
Has anybody run across this scenario.
Thinking I need to use the larger original one.
Thoughts?
