Re: Ball joints spinning so cannot tighten AND castle nut issue

If you are using the original nuts lightly tighten them up in a vise and run a tap through them before threading them on. When the original nuts are tightened up to spec it distorts the threads. That is why they won't screw on. They should screw on fine after restoring the threads....
