Reply With QuoteWeeds, you might need new bushes... You can only tighten them so far, because there is a crush tube (from memory) in the middle of them. I think you would get more torque from a big bar than a rattle gun anyway.

i can see daylight between the rear bush and the mount
i went to nip the nut up a bit, got about one full turn and my breaker bar snapped, i won't tell you how long the cheater bar was
how does one tighten it, was thinking of using a mates compressor with rattle gun

yep.....we used to use FB spanners.......
a ring spanner or the foot and a half long shifter.....a ring spanner is the best and safest option......
or a quality breaker bar......but most bolts dont have enough room for sockets......
as for the bush in question....i would say yours is shot.....as mentioned above.....

grab your largest flat blade slide it between the bush and mount bush has failed when it very easy to move or the centre bush has come away/torn from rubber. These don't fail very often.

SubscriberWeeds check the front ones off your radius arms as they usually wear to gether. When these bushes are worn it contibutes to an illusion of drivetrain backlash you will notice the difference when you change them. And yes you do simply run out of thread, the retaining nuts are nylocks which is a good indication of the tension required

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
