You'll need an alignment after a tierod end change. That is what you are talking about right, the tie rod ends?

Anyway, the the torque on the castle nut should be 40ftlbs, then tighten to the next closest opening for installation of the cotter pin.

And what's with the spastic caps lock?... Very annoying.
