i've lost the threading on the front A-Arm's where the shocks mount. what's the best way of fixing that? I've heard of wither replacing the parts or using CA glue to hod the screws in place. Are there any other suggestions?
 
Find a longer screw and locknut. Either that or buy a new arm, their cheap enough
 
CA glue will work as a stop-gap, but I would buy some new arms. They are cheap enough, and if you don't race in a spec class I would buy the RPMs.
 
yea, if your stock go rpm, but even in the rpm instructions, it says a longer screw and nut is the best/strongest setup.
 
what's the recommended screw and length to use? If I don't use the standard screws then which ones would I get?
 
measure the length of the stock screw (they are metric), and get screws that are 2-4mm longer than stock, or measure the depth needed to get the screw to protrude through the back of the arm, and add the length of a nut to that if you want to use a nut. If you don't over tighten them, I don't see the need for the use of nuts.
