Abstract
A swivel nut assembly is configured to adaptively secure a first component to a second component. The swivel nut assembly includes a socket nut including a first portion having a first internal threading, and a second portion defining a swivel chamber. A swivel connector includes a ball having a first external threading. The swivel connector is moved into the swivel chamber via the first external threading threadably engaging the first internal threading to move the ball into the swivel chamber. The ball is rotationally captured within the swivel chamber after the ball is moved into the swivel chamber.
