Steering Rack to Tie Rod Lock Washers
Steering Rack to Tie Rod Lock Washers
Im setting up a replacement steering rack with new Tie Rods and Tie Rod end for my Brumby however I cannot locate those Lock washers that lock the Tie Rod to the Steering Rack. Do I really need them I know I can pull the Tie Rod up really tight onto the Steering Rack. Can I use some kind of lock adhesive on the thread to replace the lock washers.. Any ideas out there.
Tack weld it on

i was running rack spacers for a short time on my drift Forester. i just used loctite on the threads. had no drama for the time i was using it (abusive track work)
(for those who had thoughts on running rack spacers... dont. they allow the shaft to go past the 'stoppers' and will your rack will fail real soon)
