Got my Frankenlift in the mail last week and have ran into a couple snafus. First off, I somehow stripped the nuts that attach the upper ball joint to the knuckle on both sides. So we decided to cut them off and get a couple from the dealer. Dealer said they had some, but I couldn't get them until Monday. Go in Monday and found out they were ordered for somebody and they would have to be backordered. So, I decided to get JBA UCAs, which got here today. Figured this would be a breeze after this. Undo passenger side UCA bolt up strut and try bolt clevis on. Something's not right. I look and find this:
The threads on the bold and clevis are smooshed. What are my options besides buying a new clevis? Can smooth out the threads on the clevis completely and find a nut and bolt solution? Besides the local junkyard, where's a good place to get a new clevis?
