Ehhh maybe someone has had this problem...

Gktech V4 Pro drift knuckles, GkTech FLCA (the one without the tension rod included), ebay tie rod ends (helm joint + long stud)

So ive had MA motorsports knuckles for a couple of years and those tie rods, never had any issues. No matter what and i had a lot of angle.

Installed the Gktech knuckles and FLCA, using same 17" rims as before, during drifting both sides threw the top nut out and the tie rod came out, both sides.

I havent checked to see if the tie rod end's bottom is hitting the wheel under all conditions and spinning the stud or something but i assume the knuckle and tie rod move up and down along with the wheel, so it shouldnt touch

Any ideas? I find it very rare that suddenly its loosening up, ive never had that, i dont even use the pin that secures the castle nut and i tightened them all one day before the event.

Wondering if its something to do with the conical inserts for ackerman adjustment or hopes for someone to have experienced this in another setup.
