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 |

Exactly right Bruce...I don't see any way to torque the inner nut with the engine installed. Mike I was just out in my garage trying to remember if there was room because I have done it. You can get an extension with a short socket on there with ease. It won't rotate but about 15 deg or so but you definitely can get a tool on there. I don't know why you are saying the above. Just trying to help you. |
