Subject: [Healeys] Keeping rear shock bolts tight
Seeking ideas on how to keep the rear shock mount bolts tight. They =
work loose every 1,500 to 2,000 miles, and tightening them is routine =
with my annual maintenance. I currently have grade 8 bolts, nuts and =
split washers. Grade 5 bolts, nuts, and split washers were no worse (or =
better) than the grade 8. Tried Nord-Lock washers 2 years ago after =
someone posted about them on this list. They loosened more quickly than =
split washers. Tried thread locker and nylocks as well, neither of =
which were better than split washers. =20
=20
Anyone have a method that actually keeps the hardware tight?
