I finally got them done right, though, they don't swing quite as freely as the guys in the video. I ended up having to do a combination of the video, and the manual (screwing them in evenly). I got one cap started, put the shaft in, threaded the cap as far as I could, then made the sure the shaft was threaded into that cap as far as I could get it, then did the opposite side cap, then centered the shaft. Just a general ***** of a job. Makes me kinda wish I had just bought some aftermarket tubular control arms.
