Will the original ball joint castle nuts fit the QA1 ball joints? I bought the setup from another member here, and it didnt have any ball joint nuts. When I went to go put the original nuts on, they went on about half way then bound up. Couldnt even drive em on with the impact(thought there was a minor blem in the threads).. Call QA1 to ask them and the tech guy is clueless as to the thread pitch of the nuts they use, but said they do include new nuts in the kit..Oh yea, the original nuts spin right on the original arms no problem...
So I drive around town today figuring the ball joint is just a metric thread thats close to the original, or vice versa. Well, 5/8-18(NF) spins on just like the stock one did... M16-1.5 or 2.0 didnt seem to want to go on...I dont know if there is an ultra fine M16 or what???

Im now also wondering if maybe there is a blem to the threads on the QA1 joints that I dont see. But I want to know if its the same thread as a stock one before I put a die on the threads and totally fuck it up...

Thanks.

 

*sigh*.... Noone?
