Default Tubular lower A-arms not holding front end alignment

Has anyone had this problem:

I have a 2002 Trans Am with Spohn Tubular upper and lower A-arms. I can't get the thing to hold a front end alignment for more than a week. This has been going on for a long time. It gets aligned fine, then after a few days it moves. I'm just driving to and from work. Not any curb checks or anything. They are tightned down to 100 ft. lbs. The lower ones have rod ends. Any ideas?!

<-------- that's me with this problemo!

I wondered about that when I first saw rod ended CA's.

Try putting in some washers so you get some extra squeeze on the spacers.

Had BMR tubular A-Arms for over a year. No problems with alignment, I now have UMI tubular A-Arms, because the BMR's some how got bent at the lower shock mount area.
