Yes mate... The two ARB bolts on the rear radius arms, the rear damper bolts. We spanner check before each event now. The engine mount ripped the captive out of the chassis but with the 16swg plate over it there seems to be no further issue |
Might be worth looking in to some Nordlock washers, there fitted to a lot of forklifts.

Once torqued up these never come undone by themselves.

would it rip off the contact surface? |
You might damage the paintwork as you tighten them up while fitting.

Can't see it doing any more damage than a standard flat washer.
Never heard of them before but look a lot better than the spring washers I'm used to using.

Well worth a try, After about stage 3 the back end is clonking again....very annoying as it may disguise something a little more serious.

You need to weld it in place. I clamped it in place with a bolt and washer to make sure it was aligned correctly, cover everything with a fire-proof blanket to avoid sparks getting in bad places. I would suggest fully welding it in place noce the captive nut is fixed. you can then paint it with a protective coat or two before refitting the mount

Oh, did you weld it to the chassis? I thougt that you just screwed the mount on it... I think it's just too difficult for my acknowledgment...

You could bolt it in place with the mount..... but fit a self tapping screw in one corner to prevent it turning

It seems I finally fixed it! I used an auto-locking nut (the one with a plastic ring) and a big "conical" washer (I don't know the right tech term) screwing the engine mount at about 20kgm instead of 2kgm as garage manual says...
