Default TLT Shock Ball Ends

How is everyone getting the black ball ends on the top of the turned TLT shocks?

i think it has something to do with drilling a hole and putting a screw through it and screwing the end on that but im not positive

nope i just screw them in. i bevel the edge of the ball end a little. just pick one that fits. its the bigger one... then you screw it in with a little elbow grease. dont bother putting in fluid cause it will leak.

yea just like i said up there, flaten it down drilla hole through it that is just a little bigger than the thread size of the ballend. take a 8mm or so long screw put it through the hole and attach ballend. cant get too much further into it than that.

my way still seems easier to me, but thanks for the other ideas. its probably better to do the other way for strength i guess.

i have a feeling that we are talking bout 2 different things here. im talking bout putting a ballend on the body of the shock. you cant just screw one on there, there is no way to do it. the end with the solid loop is what im talking about.

anyone else confused? there is only one way to get a ball end on the top of a tlt shock, and xj went over it.

where are you wanting to put your ball end?
