good looking out! might be a good time time to replace the nuts with locking ones.

Tomas Jul 16, 2008 01:50 AM

Well, I didn't sticky it, but you will now find this thread un the Tech Section with the title "Check tC Chassis Bolts!"

Good catch! :D

Recently I just got the car lowered and noticed a clanking sound about a week later... brought it back to the installer thinking it was something related to the install. Turned out it was one end links for the sway bar was missing a nut. Sways had been installed more than 15K ago. CHECK YOUR NUTS! =P

GQQSE13 Jul 24, 2008 09:13 PM

this might be stupid. but do you have a list of how many need tightened/checked and where they are located by chance? cuz im planning to check this this weekend and dont want to miss some

huslindan Jul 28, 2008 04:04 AM

drjohnson36 Jul 30, 2008 08:49 PM

3 bolts connecting my transmission the chassis were loose by 36 ft-lbs (a couple turns). Made a horrible rattling upon accelerating and going from drive to reverse and back again... sticky this thread!!!!!

TTCCC Jul 30, 2008 08:53 PM

I see you have a 05 and i am hoping they fixed this issue in the 08's cause i am too lazy to check it out :silly:

Sciontistical_One Aug 9, 2008 07:42 AM

Wow, so that's what that sound is...

GhoZt Aug 9, 2008 03:45 PM
