[Tigers] argh, the fulcrum pin - please help

[Owain Lloyd]

hi people,

when i was adjusting my shocks and checking the front end in
preparation for a visit to the alignment shop tomorrow, i noticed one
of the bolts that holds the drivers side lower fulcrum pin onto the
crossmember does not torque up.  i estimate it is at about half the
required torque and just seems to turn for ever.  what can i do about
this?  perhaps i could tap out the nut in the crossmember to a larger
size and use a larger bolt?  its kind of a critical bolt ... i don't
want to damage it!

as if this wasn't enough, the drivers side koni seems to be knackered
too.  it requires immense effort to extend it but it compresses
easily.

i've been trying to diagnose a slight knocking from the front end.
i've got new bearings, correct end float, new ball joints, new
urethane bushings - but its still there.

any knowledge and help is much appreciated.

thanks.
