    tie rod castle nut size

    Lost the hardware out of the box I had in the shelf. O'Reilly has to order it so I want to make sure it fits. Looks like a M12x1.5 but can anyone confirm?

    Isn't a 12X 1.5 a lug nut stud thread size/pitch? There's no way they are the same, tie rod is a fine pitch thread...

    I would suggest stopping by a hardware store with the tire rod and see what the size & thread are. They might even have a nut to use.

    Do you need some? I'm putting new tie rods on my van today. You can have the old ones.
    PM me your address.
