Large nut securing bracket to passenger side inner tie rod next to bellows?
The guy replacing my inner tie rods has apparently messed up the threads on the large (aluminum?) nut that secures the passenger side inner tie rod to the steering rack, with a mounting bracket in between. This is a very large nut, with female threads matching the male threads of the inner tie rod.
I cannot find this part on the Lexus parts diagrams. What is it and where can I get one? I suppose it's a standard but unusual metric size.
The Lexus parts diagram doesn't even show separate inner tie rods, just the entire rack for $$$$.
You can see the bracket next to the bellows at the left here:

Can't you just have a machine shop clean up the threads for you?

Part number is 4572150010 but it's no longer available.
I'd guess it's been discontinued for a long time.
Some of the reman racks on RA show a similar part so a reman rack might be an option.
As mentioned above a good machine shop should be able to fix it...
Sorry, my bad, I read the post wrong.
I thought you were referring to the nut on the bracket.
Unfortunately, you may be looking at an entire reman. rack to solve the issue.
I finally paid for a junkyard rack to obtain the nut. It's all back together now. My installer destroyed the left hand threads of the old nut by trying to attach a right hand threaded inner tie rod. Stuff happens.
