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 |

Steve...thanks for the torque specs. Are you saying I should replace the nut?
