guess what!? I was doing my wash today, and I checked my pockets from saturday. I found this little cotter pin in there. For about 1/2 second I was like "WTF." Then, I ran down to the garage, ripped my wheel off, and found the nut on the tie rod bolt hangin on by about 3 threads. I uttered a few holy f'n sh;ts and proceded to tighten that b;tch down good. And, I put the cotter pin back in. I drove down to AC tonight and guess what, no play in the steering. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] But jesus christ, talk about lucky....

Rep Power: 417 daaamn... talk about luck... if the nut fell off, the tie rod came off, you would have no steering in one of the wheels... probably go skidding/spinning everywhere and fly off the bridge... but naw on the reals, you were lucky... the nut should have been on tighter tho.. but ya good thing nothing badd happened...
