I had a joint come apart with, thankfully, no damage. It looked like the 4 capscrews just loosened up and separated the joint. Before I replace the bent cap screws and put it back together, I thought I'd ask for the following info from the experts:
1. What should they be torqued to?
2. Should they have lockwashers?
3. How about installing a lockwire thru the 4?
Thanks

drivers side? thats the one i had work itself loose, what i did - that so FAR has worked- is i hit them with locktight red and added regular lockwashers - replacement bolts came off a bug trans so were slightly longer anyways- then torqued the hell out of them- just to be on the safe side tho im carrying an allen wrench in my pocket and i check them everytime i get ready to go somewhere- only takes a minute to check- takes hours to fix if they come out again

IF they come loose again , i will be going with an ARP grade 8 or better thru bolt and lockwashers and locknuts and possibly wire
