what bolt??

the bolt that holds the arms on the frame?? They fit but it's probably a really tight fit.. believe I had to use a rubber mallet to get mine in after i put new bushings in them over the winter..;)

the bolt that attaches the a arm to the frame. there is a sleeve inside the a arm. All the bolts fit but one sleeve the bolt doesnt fit through the sleeve.

you should be able to screw it in. my buddies housers were like that. there was powdercoat in the hole that made it not quite fit.

If the Greese Zerks are on the bottom then you shouldn;t have to cut the frame...

well the bottoms are simple but the tops can get tricky. lol im retarded. no there on right cuz they fit on the knuckle so that means they have to be on right.

hey,yours look just like mine!:D . i hope i dont have problems mounting them on ,but i think i already do. i can't screw in the bottom ball joints in the arms cause of the powercoating on the threads?:confused: . houser said get a m14 x 1.5 tap to run through it to clean out the threads....(he also said if i can't fix them send them back and he'll fix'em for me. hey quadtrix did you get any houser stickers ( i figure for 500bucks i could get a few stickers):confused2

I had the same problem with the ones I bought zzBudzz. I called Houser and he said he would look into it. They should not be that hard to thread in. I think THEY should run a tap through them after they PC them. We had to put mine on a workbench, have Sharpshooter stand on them while I threaded them in with a adjustable wrench. It was a PITA!
