Default Skunk 2 Camber Kit Install problems

I bought this kit about 10 months ago and have just started installing it last weekend. I have heard the balljoints have problems, but mine is brand new and I think I might be in trouble.

On the passenger side everything bolted right up and tightened down fine. When it comes to the drivers side it just keeps spinning. Is it shot? or am I missing something. If its shot I am gonna be pissed.

Sounds to me like you're trying to over-tighten it... you should really only be hand tightenning the nut that goes onto the upper ball joint, this goes for both the top and bottom ball joints really. Just enough to get the pin in and have it secure.
