Was wondering if anyone knows the size of the outer tie rod end castle nut for a 2001 civic?
and if u could post a link of where i could buy it?
im on maui and no one on this island seems to have it.
Thanks in advance!!

 

I tried to replace the outer tie rod castle nut too, none of the local parts stores could supply a matching one, so I needed to buy a replacement.

 

do u have a link of where you bought it or did u buy it from your local honda dealer?

 

When I say replacement, I meant I needed to buy an entire new tie rod. I should have been more specific.

 

Do you mean part 23 in the image below? If so, it is 10 mm nominal diameter.



Does Maui have a Honda dealer? If so, ask the dealer.

Else I think one of the closest online OEM parts dealers on the mainland would be http://www.sanleandrohonda.com/honda-estore.htm

The part is listed under chassis then p. s. gear box.

 

Indeed. I had thought it was 12, so I double-checked this morning with a digital caliper.


I don't know what the thread pitch is, though, someone appears to have nabbed or "misplaced" my gauge.

 

I think you were thinking of the lower control arm castle nut (as you probably already figured out), 12 mm diamter x 1.25 pitch. This is a "super fine" pitch.


Not sure but if forced to bet I would say 1, which is super fine for 10 mm diameter.
