Hi guys I was just wondering whether or not the metro screw in ball joints should have a locking washer on them or not?

Cheers

By locking I guess you mean a washer that you bash over a flat part of the hub then bash over a flat part of the ball joint. Yes, they should have one of these.

I made them anyway. But the thing is there is no bleed nipple like the regular type ball joints to lock them in. There does not seem to be any point just bashing them around the nut.. I bent it over the nut and then over a flat spot on the upright anyways so it should be ok. I used some locktite just to be sure anyways
