Hoofa,

Trying to understand how that nut is installed. The shaft doesn't seem to have the thread length to accept a long nut plus the rod end.

I've always felt the rod ends are being installed incorrectly by a few but not certain it could be attributed to any type of fault. I watched a fellow builder take the lock nut and ram it down on the shaft as far as it would go then take the rod end and tighten it against the lock nut. I'v been told never to bottom the lock nut like that but rather turn it CCW toward the rod end with a wrench on the rod end to snug them together.
