If you do this, you will find that adjustment is really easy when on the car yet not sloppy or loose, and there it becomes alot more difficult to over tighted the rod into the ball cup causing yielding in the head and usually failure.

Takes the guts of a hour on its own.
Sorry for sounding a bit OTT, but if it's built right it'll perform better.

You can only do this for half the ball cups. The thread is reversed on the other side so you would need a screw with a left handed thread. Telling people to do them all could result in many wrecked ball cups!
