I'm sure the originals did.  (See for example step (iv) of para 15 page G11
of factory workshop manual/page 239 of the Bentley.)  And the ones on my car
do.

But it might be that some aftermarket ball joints don't use a castellated
nut and cotter pin, in which case they should come with a suitable Nyloc or
equivalent.

I guess I'm still confused ... your question was about installing that
joint, and now you say you need to redo it?

Anyway, I would want something to secure that nut.  The factory felt it
deserved a cotter pin, so that's what I would use.  But I'm funny that way.
