[old-chevy-truck] Loose tie rods
What should I do about a loose tie rod that I can not tighten because the threaded portion spins with the nut? Do I have to buy a new one? Or is there some trick to lock the it in place? Thanks, Luke

Replace, this is steering. Not to be played with. Better to have new than something that is old and worn. camd51 1951 chev pu Sent from my iPad On Sep 24, 2013, at 4:21 PM, Luke Zsiga 50ch...@gmail.com wrote: What should I do about a loose tie rod that I can not tighten because the threaded portion spins with the nut?

I definitely agree not to go cheap on steering components. I guess a big question I had is whether new tie rods spin? I know they sway side to side but does the threaded rod rotate? Mine have only 6000 miles on them so they are pretty new and at least one of them rotates.
