Tie rod end, steering knuckle and other steering hardware are separate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nut retains the tie rod end at the knuckle connection as part of the steering linkage. Correct hardware is necessary for the prescribed pinch-bolt attachment. It is distinct from the adjustment nut that connects the outer tie rod to the inner tie rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the original nut number and the actual mating pinch bolt before ordering. Aftermarket steering components can include different prescribed hardware. A matching nominal thread size alone does not establish suitability for every steering attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon reasons to replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the nut when the tie rod end connection is released during steering, knuckle or related suspension service. Renew self-locking hardware wherever the factory or approved component procedure requires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace damaged threads, rounded wrenching flats, deformation, missing hardware or corrosion affecting reliable installation. Earlier repairs may leave an incorrect substitute or damaged fastener at the steering connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the mating pinch bolt, joint and knuckle connection alongside the nut. A new nut cannot repair a worn tie rod joint, bent bolt, damaged knuckle or stripped bolt threads. Correct the diagnosed component defect before completing the attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteering play, uneven tire wear, clunks or alignment changes require diagnosis of the complete steering and suspension system. Replacing this retaining nut alone does not restore a worn joint or correct an alignment setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and service notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the factory procedure for the exact outer tie rod arrangement. Use the approved method to separate the joint without damaging the joint boot, bolt or knuckle. Identify the original retaining position before selecting replacement hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the bolt threads and mating connection, then position the tie rod end correctly. Start the new nut by hand without cross-threading. Do not use the nut to force an incorrectly aligned or incompatible component into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the correct hex tool and the prescribed method to hold the mating bolt where required. Follow the factory tightening requirement for this exact attachment and observe the specified thread preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not transfer a tightening value from the tie rod adjustment nut, a ball joint nut or an unrelated M10 fastener. Follow the hardware replacement instructions supplied with any approved replacement tie rod component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the connection does not seat normally, inspect the bolt, knuckle and hardware selection before continuing. Do not compensate for damaged threads or joint wear by applying additional tightening force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the required steering and suspension checks after assembly, including alignment assessment where the service procedure calls for it. Confirm that the joint boot and nearby components have their prescribed clearance through steering movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing supplies one original retaining nut; select the tie rod end and other steering service components separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVehicle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel years\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication restrictions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi A4 Avant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2007–2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0L turbocharged gasoline, BWT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB7 wagon, quattro; 6-speed manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecified M10 self-locking nut used with the tie rod pinch\/lock bolt at the spindle.
