[Healeys] front end knock

[John & Kerry Rowe]

Alan
I have noticed this problem with my BT7 also-one of the large nuts seems to 
work loose after a while. Even tightening up the cotter pins does not seem 
to help. 1st noticed very loose, 2nd time probably 1/2 turn
Must look further into it
Cheers John
