Need some insight on the protection of tie rod grease. It seems there were different methods back in the day. I currently have 2 brand new sets of tie rod ends for my all new 51 cj3a under construction. One from KW with a huge rubber boot that makes it almost impossible to thread it, let alone tighten it, which will completely crush the boot. The other has only the concave metal washer and a spring. There is also a felt washer that was used from what I’m learning. Any idea which is correct for my year and if it doesn’t matter, what is best.
Thanks
Tom
