Subject:      castle nuts/tie rod ends?
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Just installled a rebuilt PS rack (3rd one for this van!).  This one had
tie rod ends attached that were in better shape than mine so I used the
new ones.  The old ones had castle nuts and the bolt had a hole going thru
it for a cotter pin.  The new rack did not come with nuts and the bolt
does not have a hole for a cotter pin.  Do I use the castle nut without
the cotter pin?  Should i put a second nut on to make sure it does not
come undone?

Thanks,
Andrew Fox
