right just seen a pic on stevie_b's project thread, his track rod ends have the locking nuts on them, but mine didnt come with any so i didnt fit them :(

are these absolutely necessary? how is the track rod end going to undo itself when its bolted to the hub?

if i do need them i'd rather do it now before it goes for tracking done and then i have to remove the track rod ends again just to fit these nuts!

Yours didnt come with any? WTF? Go pick some up mate they are standard nuts, M12 I think. Without them they will loose their tracking at the very least...

The tie rod "could" twist and lose your tracking
