Hi all...I'm referring to the inner nut on the suspension ear ,inner end of pivot shaft.
Can anyone tell me why this nut always seems to loosen? Every time I put a wrench on it I can tighten it by about 1 turn. It tightens up, then a week later it's loose again? Car is a 74 2.0 liter, I have Eric's bushings in the trailing arm. Thanks!! Mike |

its a symptom of chassis ear flex
do you have wide sticky tires or drive under a lot of G-loads? when we first started tracking... those nuts would come loose daily next thing that happened is we ripped the console out fixed it and ripped it out again, in a matter of a hundred miles. the true solution are console braces. those nuts never came loose again in 20 years once the bracing was installed. brant |
