It is normal for your joints to swivel like that.

Yeah all adjustable arms do.
They aren't loose. That's for sure.

Judging by the joint its Rock Crawler. It looks similar to my rear upper joints
Yeah, they're RK
My Teraflex lowers are huge. They take up the whole mount.

They are also shitty. Just because they are big doesn't mean they are good.
Whoa! lol. Not going to bait me into this troll fest.

LOL! No troll fest. I own them and currently run them. I am more able to comment on the quality of them.

I ran these RK arms for aver a year and they will stay straight. The trick is to pull the bolt, drop the axle side of the joint, then loosen the jam nut. Offset the joint a little, because when you crank on the jam nut it's going to want to rotate the joint a little bit. You want to offset it enough so that when the jam nut is bubba tight, the joint is straigh and then re-mount. They will stay straight if tightened this way, I also used a 3 foot long pipe I've the handle of my wrench to get the jam nut tight enough.

Why would you not want a rotating joint to not rotate??? My buddy uses Johnny Joints on all his control arms and they are always leaning to one side or another. I would think if the joint is operating properly it should rotate.
Aw man... That will be a huge pain in the back side...

I don't get how you guys think a joint that is made to swivel is gonna stay staight. They are made that way. If you look at the Jonny joints on my Evo long arm they aren't staight, so is something wrong? :idontknow:
