The split washer damage the mounting surfaces. Try nulock
washers. They stay 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 still be removed when
needed. They have a great video on their web sight. They are
readily available at fastener shops.<br>
