ok heres the deal.. i can get the ball joint in the upper arm but not in the lower. does it thread in only one way or can they thread in both ways? the reason i say this is becaue on one of the arms i can get the balljoint to thread in from the top but not the bottom like i need it to... on the other arm it thread in from the ottm 3/4 the way then stopped and now i cant get the ball joint out of the ring... what the crap is going on.. im so frustrated!!!!could it be wrong thread pattern? it looks right.....i just about gave up and threw the arms across the street today.

The threads should be right. Do you have a spanner wrench for the balljoints?

Oh, Cando, calll Steve.

I was thinking Kustom Werks. I had heard of them needed to be machined due to warped threads after welding.

that would suck to try to machine a ring on an arm......
