    Push Rods

    Push rods, not tie rods? What is your set up, sounds like something is not right..
    Springs rockers etc...
    Would you go flip my truck back over??

    whaddya mean popping out?

    In general though, if you think plastic threads are damaged, put some CA glue on them and then put the bolt in.

    ^Yes ...but you can try some pipe tape on the threads..
    I have yet to pull them out of the push rods, but have had trouble with toe links..

    I haven't tried pipe tape... I've heard of using it to stop pillow balls from loosening themselves... but not as a way to repair damaged threads.

    On the flip side, CA glue, yep the same stuff for your tires, works really well. You can put a couple of drops down the threads, tighten the bolt to just snug, no more. Then let that baby sit for 15 minutes or so. Back that bolt out, try putting it in again and see if it doesn't feel new again!

    Plastic is easy to strip, but on the flip side, its easy to repair too.
