Thread: Best threadlocker on m22 x 2.5 nut?

Spot on

I would only use a second nut to tension the first with threadlocker, then remove the 'non threadlocked' first nut.
Kinda sounds like who's on first.............

are you absolutely sure you will never need to undo that nut?

if its a trailing arm....

I've only ever used 243 or 262 on them.

243 for the rover cheese ones
262 for the aftermarket ones.

If that's the case I'd just use an M22 8.8 or 10.9 nyloc nut and be done with it.

If you can get a metal thread locking nut like an aircraft K nut in a metric thread, I trust them a little more in critical spots but their only real advantage is they're lighter with the reduced hex and almost infinitely re-useable, but a good nyloc nut would be fine.

It's not the rear lock nut
This nut sits at the front and gives you something to adjust the length by turning the whole pin, which is threaded into the trailing arm
So to adjust back of the retaining nut then the nylock nut jammed against the pin then turn the threadlocked nut to required length to set pinion angle, wheelbase ect....
Serg check your gmail??

Basically I don't want this nut to move period!

Dc,
Is the M22 thread going in to a threaded bung that is welded into the main arm, and then the lower bush attached to the M22 thread? And then a nyloc lock nut to lock it?

Or is the only engagement of the M22 thread a single nut that is welded to the trailing arm tube?

Either way - Is it just me who thinks that for a trailing arm M22 (minor diameter is 19.5mm) seems under gunned? The standard cheese sticks wouldnt be much under 19.5mm solid for torsional strength. Are you sure you dont want to just have non adjustable links that are made to the correct length?

Machine some flats on the pin ?
