Tie Rod End Spinning
Any I deas on how to keep the stud from spinning so I can tighten up the nut? I'm hopping that I don't have to replace it.

put pressure on top of it with the OEM jack. open up the jack so it gets as big as it can and that should put enough pressure on there to let you tighten the bolt.

i had this same problem when i was doing my springs, but i later found out i overread this part of the install in the DIY.

good luck man

That did the trick! I must have read past that part too. I wish I had $135 though.
