Probably because the hardware was corroded and that aiding in anti-loosening. :laugh:
I don't worry about it quite as much, between the rust and the fact that I'm under there messing with it all the time and check before and after every trail run, there is almost no chance one will work its way off - the LCAs, that is. The UCA ones bug me, I keep an even closer eye on them. I really should just drill the bushing sleeves out to 1/2" and use real bolts.
We were talking about lock nuts, not Nylocks. That said, I've never had a reused Nylock walk off either.I have never had a nylock nut back off, no matter how many times its has been removed.
At school, I did a club called Minibaja, sponsored by SAE. Due to the rules, we had to use either nylocks, or safety wire on ALL bolts. We safety wired only a few things, that was a pain in the ass.
This is a small buggy that has the engine hardmounted to the frame, and is raced hard offroad over very rough terrain. (we went testing one day before we had the seat padding in, everyone went home with very sore kidneys).
The car is taken apart constantly, and we never replace any of the nuts, and they don't fall off.
For the hell of it, here is a picture of me breaking the car
The reason for the floats are because of this.
It's skydriving approved, just seems to have a hard time with the return to Earth.
