The split washer damage the mounting surfaces. Try nulock washers. They sta=

rear shocks. There are two washer that kind of ratchet together but can sti=

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
