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 |

The shaft is not supposed to move. The bushings are supposed to move on the shaft.
I would suggest a dab of locktite and the proper torque to make sure it doesn't back off again. |
