drill the bolt and put a split pin or hairpin in it.....or use a tab washer.

if it is a nyloc nut then something heavy duty must be going on to get it undone, unless you've undone it a few times in which case its bolloxd - they don't like that sort of thing ya know?

anyway get to bed - long day tomorrow! LOL

Might be due to the vibration caused by the 35" tyres

have you put a steering damper on ?

makeitfit · 17-04-2009, 22:28

Ooh, I want one

Where does it go, er why do I want one ?

I still want one though
