    Quick question, who is using Powertrix suspension arms (tension/camber etc)? I am in the process of installing my tension rods and the nuts/bolt supplied don't seem to be compatible and feel like they are cross-threading when attempting to tighten. It isn't a damaged item as they are all doing it.

    Anyone else experienced this?

    Imperial?

    It's possible the supplied nuts & bolts are imperial as they don't have the metric system in the USA.
    Check the thread pitch.

    Are you sure they're not locknuts? At a glance, distorted thread locknuts don't look all that different to a regular nut.

    They could be locknuts, that's why I am asking the question. I don't want to force them if they are not. I have emailed Charles, but thought I'd ask here in case someone had a quick answer so I could finish installing them.

    I doubt he would supply nuts and bolts that are not the same thread pitch. The bolts have 10.9 printed on them & the nuts have 10.

    The powertrix stuff I have used has all come with nylock nuts (which is a good thing) which generally offer resistance when tightening. Could this be the case?
