Skunk 2 Ball Joint Thread Pitch/Size needed! Castle Nut Size?
 

I want to replace the castle nut on my skunk 2 UCA's and need to know the thread pitch of the ball joint or the size castle nut to purchase. I've already tried using an OEM castle nut and it wont thread onto the skunk ball joint.

Maybe its an SAE size? All help is appreciated. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

If that were the case, the OEM Castle nut would work, which it does not...
Thread pitch, not right. Wrench size to remove the castle nut is 17mm...

My Skunk 2 UCA's were threaded the same as the stock ones. It would be silly if thery made them different. Try contacting Skunk directly.

Do you have the original UCA's or the Revised Pro UCA's?

Re: (EnjoyTheRideDC2)

Oh, maybe the ball joint has changed. I'm referring to the revised pro set, the one with the plate on top of the ball joint.
