front coilovers top nut undone

Post by Piercy »

Hi guys,
ive recently fitted coilovers to my corsa b and although everything appears correct the top nut keeps coming undone. I tightened it last night and already today its undone again. Anyone got any ideas why it might do this? I think im going to have them off again just to check and see if there is anything i have missed as far as i know they are fitted fine.

Any thoughts??

Many Thanks,
Piercy

You need to replace both top nuts and both bottom nuts and bolts with new when they have been disturbed.

ok cool. Im kinda glad these are the answers i got. I was worried that there might be more wrong. Ill have an attempt later tonight and see how it goes. Hopefully within a few days ill be able to see if its worked (as last night i tightened em and today they are loose again).

Many thanks,
Piercy
