Default Inner tie rod lock washer

Hi Guys,

I need to replace my inner tie rod on a widetrack blob, I bought new tie rod from ICP but it didnt come with a lock washer, I've read the old one cant be re used, however I'm having trouble sourcing one ion the UK, seems I need to import one from the states.

Would anyone know if it is possible to buy in the UK, my local Subaru garage claim its going to take six weeks.

Cheers

Many thanks for the replies guys, turns out that the widetrack blob doesnt have a lock washer to begin with, replaced the tie rod today.

Do you know if a non widetrack blobeye needs the washer?
Im currently in the same boat as you were and nowhere seems to have an answer about these washers.
How did you manage to find out that yours didnt need one?
Im thinking about just using some lock tight on mine if i carnt find a new washer

Hi mate, seems your question has been answered, but I can confirm the widetrack blobs dont use a lock washer, there wasnt one when I took the old tie rod off, also confirmed on the yank forums, the pre widetrack do use a washer.
