Default Rennbay tie rod end nuts..

I'm about to put these on my car but noticed that these are not castellated with provisons for a cotter pin like the OEMs..

Should I be using loctite or someting?

I think they are the locking nuts that are slightly bent and they are all you need IIRC.

The later cars use locknuts. The earlier cars use castle nuts and cotter pin. I just bought new castle nuts from Sunset earlier this year, so there may be some reason why Porsche didn't supersede the castle with the new nut.
