If you've recently purchased the Aluminum Upper Suspension Arms (part #13331) for your Kaiju and you're having difficulty assembling them, these photos may help The thing that throws some guys off is the fact that turnbuckles (the metal rod part of your suspension arms) have regular threads on one end and reverse threads on the other. This is so that you can adjust your camber by turning the turnbuckle without removing the suspension arm from the vehicle Because the aluminum upper arms are both identical to one another and both have regular threads, you may have to flip one or both of your turnbuckles 180 degrees for them to thread into the aluminum upper arm depending on how your truck was assembled at the factory If it seams like your turnbuckle will not thread in to the aluminum upper arm, follow these steps:  Step 1: Remove the upper arms from your Kaiju  Step 2: Fully disassemble the suspension arms Note, I added some red tape to the turnbuckle to indicate the direction that the turnbuckle is oriented  Step 3: Flip the turnbuckle 180 degrees such that the outer end of the turnbuckle is now the inside Note how the red tape has moved from the outside to the inside in the picture above  Step 4: Thread the turnbuckle clockwise into the aluminum arm. This should thread in very easily  Step 5: Thread the outer ball end on to the turnbuckle. You'll be cutting new threads into the outer plastic ball end at this point. It's not too difficult but you may find it easier if you apply a small amount of black grease or chapstick to the turnbuckle threads Tools that you'll need:
