My tie rod can rotate on its axle which changes the toe... how do I fix this... do I tighten one side down until it won't move? Is there a secret to this?

 

You don't have jam nuts or some type of clamp for the ends? if not , your missing hardware. I haven't seen a rockkrawler tierod end up close, if the ends are solid, there should be a jam nut that screws on your tierod end joint, if they're split, they should have a clamp like the stocker. Both ends should be screwed in somewhat equally to adjust your toe though.

 

Yup, put it in place where you want it, I put mine to where it is somewhat "level" where it is easy to read the rock crawler sticker and tighten the jam nut.

 

I found the jam nuts... makes a big difference when you have those... thanks folks
