This is the outer tie rod connected to the spindle, it is wrench-snug and I have not put a torque wrench on it yet. Since that hole in the threaded portion of the joint is almost of out of the range of the castle nut notches, should I put a washer under the nut?

I guess I should more properly ask is there any reason to not put a washer under the nut? It seems to be a good idea to add a washer.
