[6pack] Trailing Arm Pivot Bolts

Bob,

I used a slightly longer bolt, drilled it and used a castle nut with a cotter pin keeper. Guess you could also wire it.

Subject: [6pack] Trailing Arm Pivot Bolts


On a TR6 the inner trailing arm pivot bolt is installed with the head toward
the center of the car. The idea being that if the nut should work loose, the
bolt can't work it's way out because the head will hit the frame. Logical...
but a royal pain in the butt for installation and removal of the arms. Has
anyone ever seen, heard or experienced the nuts coming off of the pivot
bolts with the subsequent trailing arm disaster? So what have most of you
done when you've re-installed the arms? 

Thanks
