That pesky steering knuckle!!

[teh_mugen18]

Can't figure out how to COMPLETELY tighten those nuts with the cotter pins in them, because the bolts im trying put them on keep SPINNING with the nut!:crazy:


Its basically the one thats on the steering knuckle that i neeed to tighten cuz its making my steering vibrate cuz its not tight enough on there.

[gsrteg]

you probably stripped the threads...the nut shouldn't be spinnin...you might want to rethread.

if you use an impact gun the bolt wont spin , i had to do that a few weeks ago

no, it doesnt spin and its not stripped. its like, i continue to tighten the nut onto the threads but the threads start spinnin too which makes for no more tightening.

Its been a while since I have messed with the suspension on a Honda, but I will offer some sound advice anyways. If the ball joint faces upwards (meaning the threads are on top of the joint), simply apply pressure from beneath. I usually use a jack to hold pressure on the bottom center of the ball joint.
