    Question End Links Loosened.

    I put in the Hotchkis rear bar finally. But after a week the end links came loose. I had tightened the link per factory spec, and added a lock washer.
    I have now cleaned and re-tightened the links and add different type of lock washer and locktite too now.
    Anybody else have these come loose? Ideas to keep tightened.
    Regards
    Shawn

    Keep a wrench and allen key in the car. Only thing you can really do, they like to loosen up.
