The split washer damage the mounting surfaces. Try nulock washers. They sta=
y tight. I have not had a problem in 3 years since I installed them on the =
rear shocks. There are two washer that kind of ratchet together but can sti=
ll be removed when needed. They have a great video on their web sight. They=
 are readily available at fastener shops.

Subject: [Healeys] Keeping rear shock bolts tight

Seeking ideas on how to keep the rear shock mount bolts tight.  They work l=
oose every 1=2C500 to 2=2C000 miles=2C and tightening them is routine with =
my annual maintenance.  I currently have grade 8 bolts=2C nuts and split wa=
shers.  Grade 5 bolts=2C nuts=2C and split washers were no worse (or better=
) than the grade 8.  Tried Nord-Lock washers 2 years ago after someone post=
ed about them on this list.  They loosened more quickly than split washers.=
  Tried thread locker and nylocks as well=2C neither of which were better t=
han split washers.   Anyone have a method that actually keeps the hardware =
tight? Bruce SteeleBrea=2C CA1960 BN7=20
