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

Can get them for one of the US Nissan's

I'm thinking of just making one up if I can to help reduce the vibration through the steering wheel when off road but mainly for when I fit the 31's

just saw one for a patrol ebay.com

good idea i like that lots.

we got the same set up as hi lux surf steering wise. anyone got access to surf owners sites to see if they got anything available

could make one fit to the steering cross bar possibly

makeitfit · 17-04-2009, 22:57

Ah, I went back to the tyre man again today, cause his balance skillls were pants

So could it be I need a damper on me steerin'?
Not really noticed a prob except over 70.

So where does it fit?
