HELP! BSK came w/ wrong hardware
My race-version BSK is supposed to be installed tonight, but the bolts for the car-end of the rod are too short. They need to be 5-10mm longer to get full thread engagement. Also, the nuts are awefully thin (only 5 threads deep). Also, the washer is only 27mm o.d. as opposed to 33mm for the stock washer. Did someone grab the wrong hardware or is this really how it's supposed to be?

More problems!! Now the tapered "ball joint" and/or nut has stripped at ~40ftlbs before the ball joint seated into the knuckle. Now it won't tighten or loosen.

No idea
If you are doing that already, then you have a bigger issue.

The nut is spinning on the rod. He used 2 wrenches. The left side went in fine, but the right side is not.
The bolt is 1.5 threads below full engagement.
