have been about 6 different designs) but in any case you should toss the
nuts and drill the threaded shanks for cotter keys at least on the
lowers. The uppers have not been problematical but the lowers have had
several reports of unscrewing themselves while you drove down the road. I
know cause it happened to my daughter's Alpine. >>
Hey Tom ,Thanks for the info....
How did you locate the position of the hole to drill on the shank. I assume
you installed it first? Or where you able to measure and get close enough?
Thanks...
