Ran my B5M up at LSR Speedway in Sacramento, CA this past Saturday and had an issue with the turnbuckles. I'm running the JConcepts titanium turnbuckles and when I was trying to make camber adjustments, with every turn of the wrench, the ballcups kept popping off of their mounts. Make a quarter turn, pop goes the ballcup. It got to the point where I had to take them totally off, make the adjustments, and pop them back on.

When I first installed them, made sure there were no stiction issues and they freely moved. They move freely, but for something as simple as camber adjustments, they move too freely?

Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thank you in advance.
I had a similar problem with a few of mine. I took the ball cups completely off and put some oil inside then threaded it back on. Shock oil works well too. That solved the problem for me.
