Seized Jam nut on tie rod / track rod end
Discussion
Hi
I’ve recently had my car tracking done but the jam nut was seized on the tie-rod, the mechanic used a blow lamp to heat the nut, then when he started to turn it he gave it a squirt of WD40
It did the trick, but would this have damaged or hardened / embrittle the tie-rod with the WD40 cooling the metal too quickly?
will this cause the tie-rod to fail?
