Re: Tighten _all_ the bolts

Okay, Okay. I'll put my experience in here. Last sunday that 22mm nut that
holds the front shocks on top decided to let go and my driver side shock
just collapsed while going at about 60mph.  Now picture having your
alignment literally change while driving to the point that I had to hold
the wheel 90 degress to keep the car straight. Driving without a front
shock ain't no fun.
