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
