Ran into a little problem...
My upper arms will only thread in only about 3-4 threads, there is nothing that's stopping it, the threads in the arm is clean, and they are lubricated. Advice? I emailed and sent pictures to RC waiting for a response, this is not the first time this has happen.

Check to see if the other control arm end works?
Make sure that the thread in the arm matches the control arm end.
may need to get a tap and really make sure the threads are clean.

The threads on the joints are different the threads in the arm, Called RC and was on the phone for at least ten minutes and said that there are two new arms and joints being shipped out to me.

Went to my work/girlfriend's house and her dad has every tool you could ever think of, he had 3 or 4 of snap ring pliers, So I was able to assemble my Johhny Joints!
Also my last drill bit came in the mail, Now it's time to install!
