 Frequently Asked Turnbuckle Questions
 
How do I make turnbuckles easier to adjust?

Use beeswax or chapstick on the treads, before screwing on the ballcaps. The lubrication will make for wsier adjustment.

How do I make turnbuckles all adjust in the same direction?

If you use Lunsford turnbuckles they all have a groove around the nut radius. Install all turnbuckles with the groove to the left side of the car. This will allow you to tighten all your turnbuckles with a wrench pull to the front. If you don't have lunsford turnbuckles then you have to make make your own marks on them. You can do this by looking at the treads and making sure they are all going the same direction when layed out. Then mark one side of the turnbuckle. Then install them the same as you would a Lunsford turnbuckle.
