I assume these are right handed threads ?
I can get them started just a bit by hand,,,but am concerned about stripping the threads on the A arm.
I have the correct socket,,,,and they look to be going in "straight" for the initial thread...

Do I just gently use the socket to screw the ball joint into the A arm ?

Dont want to mess up anything,,,, the ball joint and A arm threads are a bit odd looking compared to the usual style thread I am used to seeing,,,,

thanks for any input....
