Help with outer tie rod thread size

What is the thread size for an outer tie rod.
2002 tacoma 3.4 4x4

 

Change your thread title to remove help.

Help is reserved for someone that requires assistance due to being stuck, or immobilized in some other way.

 

I am my truck is on the side of the road

 

Then change your title to possibly "Help, on side of the road, [City-County, State]" and go from there.

Hope we get someone here from your area; maybe a mod will move it to the regional section.

 

I just need to know the size I'm at o'Reillys now

 

I got a ride I just need to know the size so I can get home

 

They don’t know?!?!!!?! Walk to a NAPA lol

 

Everything is closing, I'm at an advance auto parts now

 

I don't see that kind of information in the manual usually. It goes by part number.


One of these?

 

Yeah but I need the thread size for the castle nut

 

That's not something you usually see specified. Buy a few, hope for the best?

 

Okay thanks for the reply, I bought an outer tie rod for a different vehicle hoping the nut fits.

 

Subbed.

 

Buy an outer tie rod if you can find one.

 

Places carrying anything for a 1st gen Tacoma around here is unheard of.

 

That sucks. Can you pull the nut off the other tie rod and ID it?

 

With enough bailing wire, you don't really need a nut.

 

Just get a few metric sizes. Like 8mm or 9mm or 10mm thread diameter. How much do nuts cost?

 

Or maybe bigger like 11 or 12mm? Buy a thread gauge also to keep in the truck for the next time you need it.

 

Do they have FlexTape? From the makers of FlexSeal, FlexShot and FlexPaste? I bet they have fuzzy steering wheel covers, chrome valve covers for a SB Chevy, Lucas oil treatment and SeaFoam though. Good luck
