Subject:      Tie rod ends w/o cotter pin???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Hi,


I seem only to find outer tie rod ends equipped with self-locking nuts
instead of the cotter-pin version, with which my 87 Westy is equipped with and
which Bentley mentiones. Is this not a safety-related issue? I wonder whether it
is worth it to spend nearly 40 $ a piece more for the
VW-dealership-delivered part just to get the cotter pin (if they still use it, what I do not know).
Any suggestions or experiences?
Thanks
Regards
Chris
