Need help with james duff radius arms!!

76_bronco · Mar 28, 2009

I am currently installing a 5.5'' james duff monster suspension lift and have gotten to installing the new radius arms. I am having a horrible time trying to get the radius arms ends screwed into the end of the radius arms itself. I get them screwed in about 1/4 of the way and then they become extremely hard to screw in even using a wrench. If anybody can help me or if anyone has had this problem with there Duff radius arms please let me know how i can get them to thread completely in..Thanks in advance

You may need a tap to clean out the threads.

had the same issue with a set i installed years ago, turned out their powdercoater didn't completely clean the sand out of the threads after sandblast. also are you using some oil on the threads? they recomend it.

If you dont want to buy that huge of a tap to clean out threads, you might be able to use a dental pick... way cheaper!

Mine came already screwed in when I got them.
