Hey guys, I am *** deep in my header/leveling kit installation, and I have run into an issue. I cannot seem to get the ball joint at the top of the control arm to stop spinning. I have everything installed and ready to reassemble, but I can't get the nut to turn on the bolt because the bolt keeps spinning. Any suggestions?

 

Is that normal for it to spin like that? Did you have the same issue when you took it apart? Best thing I could suggest would be to lube the nut/bolt and maybe use something thin to push or hold the bolt so it can't spin.

 

When I did mineI had no issues sorry I couldnt help.

 

Were you able to get it back together?

 

Doesnt the bolt have a fitting on the bottom to put a wrench on? I watched the mechanic do mine and he put atype of torx socket on the bottom of the bolt and tightened the nut with an open ended wrench.

 

Clamp the control arm down on to the balljoint real tight with a G clamp or similar , because the balljoint "bolt" part is on a taper this should lock it tight.Then do up your nut. If it doesnt work make sure it is dry of oil and grease.
