    The vehicle is a 2.4L, 5 lug, VIN 4TAVL52N6WZ025665, taking steering rack and pinion 4250-04010-84 and outer tie rod end 45046-39285. Guess what neither of those parts include? The "adjustment" nut that secures the position of the outer tie rod on the inner tie rod. Any leads on this part- or just the number -will be much appreciated.

    low range off-road is where I got mine.


    Might double check that it fits, mine is a 6 lug and yours a 5

    Appreciate the ref, but they have entirely different steering rack and pinions/tie rods- mine is the scrawny pavement hugger (the 5 lug is lighter all around, with the rack and pinion only secured by two vertical bolts, no third horizontal bolt, and thinner tie rods).

    MGM.DCLB.Nic, thanks for the typo correction.
