So I was doing some basic maintenance on my fiero today. I completely rebuilt the car last winter and its been on the road for about 6 months now. I was doing usual checkup and maintenance and found that the adjustable upper ball joints I got from Rodney DIckman were loose. I used his hardware provided and they were installed as tight as possible, but now after 6 months they were loose and moving around. Anyone else have this happen?

Got them on three of my Fiero's and not one problem. The GT is my daily driver and I have approx 65k on those RD ball joints.

I have had a problem with my adjustable upper ball joints. The bolts and nuts were course thread and didn't allow for tighter torque. I replaced the bolts and nuts with fine thread and added lock washers with Ny-Lock nuts. Never had a problem again. That was 5 years ago.
