- Yep. I had an upper wishbone nut/washer assembly fall of last year. I discovered it after an autocross! That could have been expensive - for sure. Not to mention dangerous. There are two types of AN

- [stuff deleted] I have the book. I have read it. I don't re-use stop nuts on critical suspension components. You can't be too safe. You can re-use them if you want. I'd like to point out that the ori

- Bob, Justin, et al, The name of my original post was "washer necessary?". Well, I had new, correct tie rods installed to fix the problem. However, when I looked at the work the mechanic did, he did n

- My previous post already went into the re-use of such nuts. If I had installed the tie rods myself with new nuts... and for one reason or another, had to take them off and put them back on... I would

- I agree with you. Speaking of which, I'm in the process of building a TR6 more or less a frame up restoration, except I'm going to drive this baby really hard as in time-trialing and possibly road r

- How can I joke? I've knocked over my big bucket dozens of times...to find that elusive bolt/nut... and I think I can identify a majority of them! Is this one of those things you add to a psycho-list
