SUC2BU New Member 13 Member For: 10y 9m 24d Posted 04/08/14 08:46 AM Share Posted 04/08/14 08:46 AM I've recently had the diff bushes changed in my ba xr6t and now the big centre bush bolt keeps coming loose.. I've taken it back to the shop that did it and they put more loctite on it but now the clunk is back and once again bolt is loose and I try to tighten it but it just keeps turning and won't get tight.. Any suggestions would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your time with thread repair they don't last. New factory hat and bolt will be fine or you can get an upgraded hat from malwood or others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locktite is a guilty solution I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah if someone is not careful and over tightens it it strips it in the first place. I'm sure they know what they have done but good luck getting them to own up.
