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.

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.
