John. I think that my problem is the wire because it has this notch cut in 
it. Maybe I should try to buy a new wire or something. The only reason I 
asked about the titanium turnbuckles is because I just got a really powerful 
modified motor and I've had a couple ball ends snap. I wanted something that 
went well with the ball ends and I've seen some turnbucles with the titanium 
ball ends on them and they worked real well. Anyway, thanks for your advice.
