Different Types of Transit Drag Links?
All,
I have a velocity XT. The camber adjusters which have the correct m18 x 1.5 thread screw in to the top wish bones fine...
However, the front camber adjusters - the transit drag links dont screw in well at all - even a m18 1.5 nut does not screw on well - where i have been
able to screw the nut down the drag link thread - its altered the profile of the thread on the drag link....
Is there more than one type of transit drag link???
Has anyone else experienced this before?

what did you clean the threads of? the drag link or the wishbones - i am borrowing a tap and i have cleaned the wishbone thread - it just seems that
as i wind the m18 1.5 nut on, its altering the thread on the drag link - its almost like its pushing the tip of the thread over.

Probably worth using the search facility as I'm sure this has been covered several times!

yea, did that first. there are lots of threads about m20 and m18, TRE and Drag link ends, but no one seems to have come across a problem where they
screw in, but are tight and they alter the thread on the drag link.

copy and paste the address in to t reply please so i can see it. All the ones i searched for do not talk about damaging the thread of the drag link
while screwing it in to the wishbone.
