i screwed them all the way in, and the ones on the bottom of the nuckle, the lower a arm heim, i screwed out 3 turns on each side, which put a little camber in it to turn better. but make sure you use locktite on everything, and dont be scared to use alot of it.

do u mean to thread the ball joint attached to the spindle 3 turns or the heims where the mount to the frame
also is locktite that nessesary theres no way they could move or back out unless the bolts were taken out or the spindle
im still gonna use it anyway i was just wondering
