loose nut of front stabilizer

[grnamin]

Yep, a loose end link would totally make that noise. A dab of blue loctite ought to keep it in place.

Maybe add a witness mark for good measure?

Could they just add a washer to protect the nut?

 

[Krabby]

Or use a castle nut?

Looks like a lot pf potential INEOS employers here - everyone seems to now how to assemble the trucks better than them.

Didn't you get your expert certificate when you opened your web browser?

YouTube certified, baby.

INEOS is probably better at manufacturing than your average forum member, but that's a pretty low bar. It would be nice if they could start proving it by choosing the right threaded nut though.

speed tape, not duct tape, looks bad but perfectly fine and normal.

The double nut might help the excessively long balljoint thread from rusting .
That seems to be a logical reason.
Not as logical as a shorter shank though.

I’ve used 100 mile/hour tape, but I didn’t realize they made 500 mile/hour version

I wonder how much that costs after FAA certification

Won’t be cheap

So the loose nut on the stabilizer is different than the loose nut on the steering (recall)

@Jean Mercier Last week they added extra nuts on the stabilizer. It's a recall action that they have to do from Ineos. So they new the problem already. See pictures. I have everywhere double nuts on the connection points.

So everybody is best checking this!

I'm in US I just conformed they did this on mine as well! Doesn't seem right should be a better lock nut not double nuts.
