The threads on the tie rod are still fine, just the bolt is messed up. so to narrow it down its not 9/16 course or fine, fine starts on it and goes up a turn or two before it binds up and its not 14mm course. so i think its 14mm fine but couldnt find any in town. going to call a few places tomorrow and see what i can find out.

I have a thread gague for standard sizes but not for metric, or at least i have the things with the little teeth on it that you line up with the threads. I called ford today and ordered a pack of 4 nuts. The bad thing is they come in a pack of 4 and they didnt have any in stock. So i guess ill have some extras! The guy said they are size M14 but it didnt tell him the pitch. I think the M14 i bought last night had a pitch of 2, so the pitch should be less than 2. Still $2 a nut isnt a bad price since Menards was charging like $5.50.
