Good morning-hope everybody had a good weekend.
It would seem as if one of the rights of 914 ownership passages is dealing with self-loosening axle bolts. Will the correct size spring washers from Ace deal with this, or do I need special serrated ones, or do I need to safety wire them? Thanks in advance for the help, have a good morning. |

Pulled one to go make sure I get the right size washers. The split washers on here for apparently useless, and the threads were very greasy Those bolts are not the original type of bolt used for 914 CV joints. I would be ordering some new bolts and probably get the "drilled for safety wire" bolts since I was getting new bolts. You need to be sure the bolts are the correct strength. Jim |
