I recently had a tie-rod come off on my car because I'm a genius and forgot to put the cotter pin back in. It was a pretty terrifying experience.
So I'm looking at getting adjustable ends, shortened swaybar endlinks and x2 ball joints to minimize the binding of my steering to do an offset geometry (I still get some creeking/popping noises when turning the wheel at a stop or slow roll).
I was looking at the tie-rod kits, and it looks like they just use nylock nuts and no pins. I was wondering if anyone has put a lot of miles on these tie-rod ends without them coming loose? I'm sure they wouldn't sell a hazardous product, but I want some consumer feedback. I don't want to crap in my car twice.
