OK, well I came to the conclusion that I would just reuse the tie rod ends that were on there, since there really wasn't any issues with slop, just the turn ratio. I was on the hunt today to get some new castle nuts and cotter pins, and I couldn't find the castle nuts anywhere. Local auto parts didn't carry them, local ACE hardware didn't have them, Lowe's or Home Depot didn't have them. So do I just have to bite the bullet and buy all new tie rod ends? All I need is the darn castle nuts. Anyone have any idea what size nut the tie rod ends take? Maybe I'll just use regular nuts with loctite? Any suggestions?

Thanks
