I have a V-8 car running spacers between the inner CVs and the drive flanges. Perhaps because there are two CV gaskets on each side, the bolts loosen all the time. It seems like every time I check them, they are loose! I have drilled the heads of the bolts and plan to safety wire them and maybe use red lock tight. Anyone have any further thoughts about how to keep these little bitches tight? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Hey Dr. Roger,
I have longer bolts that pass through the CV and the spacer into the drive flange. The bolts are loosening all the time and believe safety wire will solve it. Because of the fact that I run a gasket on each side of the spacer (to keep grease from flying everywhere) there is a greater opportunity for the bolts to loosen. The gaskets don't allow a metal to metal contact between the CV & the spacer. An aluminum gasket might be a better material for the gaskets as well. Bill |
