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. |

I have said this and I will say it again. When the cv comes loose, it distorts the output flange. It causes the threaded holes to be pulled out slightly. This no longer allows the cv to sit perfectly flat to the output flange. This is the main cause of cv's coming loose. Remove the output flange and turn a cleanup cut on the face. The material is not hardened and it cleans up nicely. Twice my cv's came off in a years time. I discovered this issue. They remain tight to this day
