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 |

How would you "hold" the axle without holding the other side with a wrench? Thanks! |

How would you "hold" the axle without holding the other side with a wrench? Thanks! As I read the factory manual it gave a range of 87-103. The Porsche tech book did list inner and outer at different torques. Unless the engine is removed you aren't getting a torque wrench on the inner nut. Once the nut is snug the splines of the shaft keep it from turning. Bruce |
