Holy shit, how did these bolts loosen up?

The video is pretty compelling. I ended up buying a bunch of them.

Yup, those are good stuff.

I have found over the years that many of the things that loosen where over tightened to begin with. YMMV.

I’m not a believer. They taught me at FT Eustis that “lock” washers are a myth.

I used those on the exhaust manifold of my turbocharged Integra since the bolts kept loosening up and were a colossal pain to fix. That was several years ago and they’re still tight.

#5

Good application would be the four bolts holding the diff on…they have a propensity to loosen.

You watch the video? The physics of the explanation struck me as pretty convincing.
