Tie rod jam nuts?

Post by **Ctrow** » Sun Apr 10, 2011 7:55 pm

Setting up a new tierod for the heep and need some jam nuts. Anyone know where I can find jam nuts for a 1988 xj tierod? I think it's 5/8"-16.

Thanks,
Trow

Everyone seems to have 5/8"-18, but no 5/8"-16. Am I counting wrong or will the 5/8-18 work? I'm not much of a nuts and bolts guru

I agree with Peter, everything I've seen seems to be 5/8-18.
