replacing tie-rods - do I need the tab washer?

[martin_y]

Hi all
MOT due and I need to order and replace tie-rods. I'm going to get them from cam-skill, but their site shows "steering rack tab washers" as a related item - will these need replacing when the tie-rods are done?

Thanks !

steering rack ends normally come with lock tabs i always put a smidging of lock tight on aswell

They normally aren't supplied with them for the VR4. The job will be easier if you have new ones, although I have hammered old ones flat and reused them in the past.

I use my olds one as well,just need to be hammered as Nick said,certainly with new one is easier.
