I have 2 12 x 1.5 nuts. They both go on the other track (toe) rod end no problem (left side of car). Neither will go on the one that is not working (right side). It's not a nut problem. Well if you don't count me 😀.

I am going to try and use a die to get the threads to work. The bolt appears straight when compared to a straight edge and the threads look ok. I think whatever is blocking the nut is minimal, or maybe I am just hoping.

I'm open to other suggestions.

I'm doing my best here, please remember that. I do taxes for a living, nothing mechanical so I am way out of my element here. Just a guy trying to save a buck.
