I’m having a problem with the bolts on the driver-side axle backing out from the differential and loosing up on me. I’ve tapped the threads previously and even used red loctite and they still back out. Has anyone heard of this
Driver-side axle bolts
Last October when I was inspecting the car, I noticed the bolts were loose and tighten them back in. I’m not sure what causes them to become loose.
I’ll just have to check on them from time to time.
I had this happen to my track car as well I ended up spraying the crap out of the diff flange with parts cleaner (I just might have got some grease in there from when I repacked the CV’s/dust boots) and used blue loctite, so far no problems a season and a half later but if they do start to back out I have a set of axle bolts that I drilled the heads on for saftey wire, so that may be an option as well if you have some problems (FYI I used like 12.9 grade bolts from Mcmaster carr and they were a PITA to drill, definately killed more than a few drill bits, ended up having a buddy that works for a machine shop drill the rest on a bridgeport mill)
