Tony C Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Just doing the first service on my SV following a rapid 600 miles since last Thursday. Check tightened the front suspension and engine bay, but during a further visual inspection noticed both top wishbone locknuts were loose. The left one by about two threads and the right not visually loose, but yielded to half a turn with the spanner. Anyone else had an experience with these comimg undone? I've never touched them as they come adjusted for length from the factory and I checked both were tight during assembly. Cheers, Tony BRG SV 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Not had them come undone, but I have had the top link on my upgraded live front end loosen itself. Try putting a dab of thread lock on before adding the Nyloc. Frequent checking is a must with our cars which are driven so hard, so often. Phil Waters You mean you can drive these? I thought it was just there to polish 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjwb Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yep, had that ❗ Loosen them off, apply loctite, retighten and job done. It is good practice to 'spanner check' suspension, steering and brakes once a month. Steve B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
