spindle pin lock bolt

Recommended Posts

There are about three or four threads exposed on my lock pins. I don't have nuts on my pins (the nuts vibrated off). They have not come out after 3000 miles of driving and are not loose. Even if they did fall out it isn't a huge problem. The suspension isn't going to come apart. At worse, the spindle pin 'might' rotate slightly but that isn't very likely and has NO affect on anything. Like I said and Walter reiterated do not pound these in. Do not overtighten them. Distorting the spindle pin will cause huge headaches if you or another owner want to replace the bushings in the future. Lastly, use a good anti-sieze (copper-based) on the spindle pins after cleaning out the hole very well.
