I wonder if there has been a heat treating error and they are too brittle. I noticed on some of the pro setup sheets that they run +2mm aluminum spacer with 1mm plastic under the ball stud. Anyone know why the plastic one? I assume the plastic acts like loctite under compression??

Here's the track layout. Every truck is a T5M

That rear stud likes to rattle loose without lock tight or when the threads are galled. I have that rear mount from the kit still if you or a buddy needs it, just pay shipping.
