I welded the tie rod ends to the tie rod. However, I am purchasing a new RK tie rod. I come to find out the the Evo Link Locks do not work on tie rods, only control arms.
Anyone know of a locking mechanism for tie rods (other than loctite)?

I would like to thank the OP for posting this. My JK is my first off road vehicle. I plan on lifting it in the future, but I had no idea this is a component that needs to be checked on a regular basis.

In previous posts, I touched on this subject. They won't just replace it. I need to buy another one because, as they state, 'it happens here and there'. I was pulling out of my driveway and the ends came right out. I am lucky I wasn't on a highway.
