That’s a little unusual on a stocker. I replaced mine on the ‘48 a couple years ago with Moog pieces. Generally a bit more “generous” in the taper dimension than McQuay Norris or TRW items.
It’s not unheard of to need to add a washer under a tie rod nut, but mostly on a spindle where someone doesn’t know how to taper-machine correctly……. Not a situation with stock stuff.
