<p class="MsoNormal">I can't recall exactly what I did there, but changing the standard hardware is a good place to start. The fatter the purchase on the shock side the better. I think I used a grade8 hard washer to grab as much of the shock as possible under
the bolt head. I think an allen head bolt might provide a better purchase for tightening, or I ground down a 9/16" socket to better fit the bolt head. I think I used a longer bolts too. Adding another nut to lock things is place. If I get a chance, I'll
take a good look at what I did and get back to you. The frame mount can get worn out of round too, if it's been loose a few times.
