[TR] TR2/3 front suspension questions.

[Angelo Graham]

Hello List:
A couple of questions regarding my front suspension re-build. Have 
installed new upper ball joints (TRF) and can still see some of the 
splines on the ball joint shaft protruding from the upper control 
arms. Is this usual? The old joints homed in against the control arm 
and no splines were visible. I did try to pull them in with my impact 
wrench, but was afraid of stripping the nut/bolt threads. Will the 
protruding splines (1/4") affect front end geometry significantly?
For the rest of the rebuild a friend suggested substituting good 
quality nylock nuts for the many castellated nuts in the front 
suspension. A good idea? Would adding red Loctite help any in this 
application??
Thanks for any guidance with this.
