[Healeys] Keeping rear shock bolts tight

[Richard Kahn]

The split washer damage the mounting surfaces. Try nulock washers. They stay tight. I have not had a problem in 3 years since I installed them on the rear shocks. There are two washer that kind of ratchet together but can still be removed when needed. They have a great video on their web sight. They are readily available at fastener shops.

Subject: [Healeys] Keeping rear shock bolts tight

Seeking ideas on how to keep the rear shock mount bolts tight.  They work loose every 1,500 to 2,000 miles, and tightening them is routine with my annual maintenance.  I currently have grade 8 bolts, nuts and split washers.  Grade 5 bolts, nuts, and split washers were no worse (or better) than the grade 8.  Tried Nord-Lock washers 2 years ago after someone posted about them on this list.  They loosened more quickly than split washers.  Tried thread locker and nylocks as well, neither of which were better than split washers.   Anyone have a method that actually keeps the hardware tight? Bruce SteeleBrea, CA1960 BN7
