Subject: JB Weld

I'm dead serious. For less than $5, you can fix this and do a good job. Simply rough up the surfaces with a grinder, mix up some JB Weld, put it in the hole, insert tie rod end, keep pressure on it overnight with a jack or something similar while it dries, and then install the nut in the morning. Check nut for tightness after using it a few hours.

I've done this, and it does work well. You will have perfect 100% contact, something you can't do by welding and grinding.
