I have been trying to look back at some older topics, so far in the camping and four wheeling topics and it just says an error occurred and I can't see the post. I can see some, but not all of them. Reloading the page does nothing.

I keep getting an error message when I try to view posts.

If the nut keeps working loose you could always try safety wire, it is widely used in the aircraft industry as well as motorsports racing.
This is the stuff.

On larger bolts/nuts I have drilled a tiny hole through a portion of it to run the wire through. Then twist tie to something sturdy.

"Bucket Brigade" / Re: St. Louis to Pa. - AGAIN!
Last post by Still Pat - July 27, 2025, 10:13:19 AM
*UPDATE* Gonna go with a trailer instead of a dolly. I've used a dolly before, but not that far. Just not worth the hassle disconnecting & reconnecting the driveshaft. ANTICIPATED departure date of 11 Aug. Got something going that way? Speak now or forever hold your peace! ONE-WAY TRIP this time. NO RETURN to Misery!! Basically along I-70 St. Louis to east of Pittsburgh before Harrisburg.

Looks entirely functionable!  Hope the new bushing get there soon.

Well this will hold up for two weeks until new bushings arrive. It turns out you can do this without removing the strut rod from the vehicle and wreck the alignment. Just index and measure the depth of the nut before you remove it and you can reference against *something* when reassembling it back exactly where it was.





Since I have no way to dial it in from the driveway the best I can do is snug the front adjustment up so it doesn't fall apart on the road. Seemed okay on the drivability test and absolutely no longer klunks so I nailed that one.
