This increases the preload on the actuator. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86437-actuator-bolt/#findComment-1430483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much preload did it have when u fitted it? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86437-actuator-bolt/#findComment-1430595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
