Yeah I did actually, I was under the impression that he was talking about the alum set, hence the use of thread lock...for like you said, you should'nt use locktite on plastic. My mistake there, or perhaps i just read too much into it, oh well there you go.

I have an 18ss and I put some moab tires to give it some more ground clearance. I am having a problem with the steering knuckle and the c hub. The knuckle keeps on popping our of the c hub on the lower arm when I land some 3 - 5 foot jumps. Is there anyway to keep this from happening? I am afraid of using a longer screw because I don't want to put a dent in the bearing that rides in the knuckle. I have tried teflon tape and threadlock with no results.
If I understand what you are saying you are running the stock plastic knuckles? If so you will not be able to keep screws in it until you up grade to alloy knuckles where you can loctite the screws in. I know this fact from trying to make 3 sets of the stock plastic knuckles work got a set of BILLET alloy and have not had a problem since. This is one of the biggest problems that you need to fix on the MT.
All so do not user loctite or thread lock on plastic!!!!!! I think SIM2U might have misunderstood what you where saying.
