Trying to losen or tighten the drag link end link and the ball joint keeps spinning. How can get this tightened? It's the last thing I need to make this lift complete. There is a little play when moving the drag link with hand.

Installed RK 3.5 max travel.

Edited with correct part...

 

Put a jack under the tie rod and jack it up til there is enough pressure. This should stop it from spinning so you can torque it.

 

Ugh stupid me. That should be the drag link I'm having issues with. I've tried turning the steering wheel and the nut is still stuck.

 

On the stud of the joint there's an a place for a allen wrench to fit in to hold the joint from turning while tightening the nut

 

If you don't have an Allen that will fit try using a hi lift out pressure on it. Worst case scenarios JK tie rod nuts are nylock, so a torch will melt it enough to unlock it and you can grab a new one at the dealership. They're $2

 

Thanks guys!


Family time you are my hero. Now my jeep drives better than stock. Thank you!

I don't know how many times I handled that end link and never noticed that. Wow.
