    Prop shaft annoyance

    Hi guys, I've noticed that every time I check my car underneath I have to tighten my prop shaft bolts.

    I have done this a few times, at first I thought it could be the fact the bolts and nuts were old, so I changed them for spares that I had.

    That didn't work so I replaced the nuts with nyloc nuts. That also hasn't worked, I then used new spring washers and nuts still hasn't worked

    Has anyone got any more ideas??

    Wirelock them together. You'll have to either buy pre drilled or drill the nuts. But once done they won't budge

    Genuine bolts or aftermarket? They could be stretching. Tighten them and put a paint mark on them.

    I used genuine the first time, kept the same bolts and just changed the nuts

    I used them and there still coming loose, I'd personally ring up Nissan as they still stock them

    This is what I did after I had to cut stock ones off and couldn't find replacements. Tight as hell. http://imgur.com/a/3hbAR

    Use some nordlock washers. Itll hold fine after that.
