(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) WTF - I'm really tired of this self-rescue operation - the driver's half-shaft has come off twice now - and the repair is a pain in the ass. I'm afraid I'm going to be mowed down by a texting teenager while I'm under the car getting these things back on.
twice now on the driver's side - and I checked the other side and those bolts were loose as well. so now I've gone from DT (damn tight!) to RFT (really f'ing tight) - - - anyone else have this happen? what to do? New bolts? thx td |

They don't need to be tight, forgot the lbs torque but it's really low. Like mentioned above, the threads need to be clean and you need to use new schnorr washers. Also make sure nothing is in a bind, like the gaskets etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
