hey guys today i had a ball joint let go and according to the towtruck driver/mechanic/exhaust guy there was really nothing wrong with the ball joint. it didnt break or anything so i was wondering if there was any way for the castle nut to come loose? I really dont have any enemies to take it loose so i have no idea whats up any thoughts.

 

Have you check it out yet.Maybe the cotter pin fell/broke off.Without it the nut may of come loose!

 

Exactly, castle nut aint on there but a lil over hand tight

 

....

 

wish it was that easy. but when it let loose today half the threads managed to disapear so its at the shop being fixed. hey for $125 the car was towed to the shop and the car was fixed so i really cant complain plus the guy whos fixing it is the one who origionally built the damn thing.

 

Might wanna give the car a top to bottom thorough inspection since the goober obviously forgot such a simple and super important part as to secure the castle nut.

Suspension parts should be in 100% top notch condition because they constantly keep you alive
