Hey my inner cv joint bolts keep getting loose. Thinking of putting a safety wire hole in it aircraft style or maybe some lock tight stuff. I have used new cone washers and they still get loose. What do you think.

I had one 2.0 that kept shedding CV bolts on the inner driver's side. There was no ammount of cleaning, new bolts, washers, seals, or tourques that would keep those stupid things tight. We tried everything short of Loctite. We even changed the (perfectly good) rolled pins thinking there might be some kind of play or other monkey-motion going on in there. We ended up safety wiring the bolts and that solved the problem (of course), but we never did find out why they kept coming loose.
Must've been the garden gnomes gettin' rowdy with the tools again... |
