The screw is inserted through the knuckle from the bottom, in the outer most hole, and then the ball end is threaded on tight, but once I tap they snap at the neck right off. Any ideas.....? Thanks If pics would help let me know I will try and get some up....
How far does the screw protrude up into the ball nut? have you tried using a longer screw, one that goes to the top of the ball nut?
Also, are they aluminium or steel nuts your using?
