Just thought I'd let you guys know I did all my front end with Edge alli spacers that were supplied with the kit I purchased. Anyway I noticed that to turn the front wheels from side to side took a bit of effort! And that was with the front end off the ground! It was near impossible to get a hold of the wheel and just turn the wheels from side to side and have the steering wheel spin! Also I noticed that you don't get much of a turning circle! So I had a look through Doug's stuff and noticed he had the spacers for sale and the other bits you weld into the end of ya a-arms to give you better turning circle! So I changed the spacers over, now I can grab the wheel and just move it through the turning range of movement :o ;D also I noticed on the alli spacers there is marks on them where I had tried to turn the wheels. eyes Oh I'll put some photos up soon.

Thanks for posting up the improvments it has made. I still dont know why Edge has not corrected this as it seems simple enough to me

Isn't it one of those things that weren't really a problem, or didn't exist?  eyes

 "good 'nuff" -isn't that the same as "I don't give a fook"?
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Pipe thread. Put some thread sealer on  and crank them in.

They will thread in about another 4 turns most likely. You just theaded them in finger tight so far haven't you? I don't see any pipe thread sealer on the threads anyway. The threads are tapered and will tighten up a lot more. That is unless doug supplied you with NPT which is standard here in the US . Your adapters aren't metric by some strange chance are they?
