Got it. No locking tabs on mine as there were no lock plates. I guess what
made the 24mm nut seem tight when loosening things up was just it being
kind of ?rusted? in place then. Though I could swear that the outer nut
snugged the inner down onto the tie rod much more tightly on one side than the
other. I?ll just have to look again.

If it really bothers you, park the car up on a curb (on the right side),
then working from underneath in the center, use a pipe wrench to hold the
tie rod (tube part), and tighten the jamb nut further. You might find more
room to work this way. ;-) Sometimes you have to work with the surroundings.
