Hey, I need one of the bolts and nuts that hold the right side (passenger side) watts linkage to the car. I was driving and I suddenly started hearing REALLY loud knocking from the passenger rear, and when I got home I saw the linkage wobbling. Anyone have one of the bolts and nuts? It's the part that bolts on near the wheel not the diff.

I warned you to nut and bolt the entire car after we were done. Seems like you keep loosing bolts. Jack it up and check everything soon. We would hate for something to happen to you while driving it Chris.

That Honda looks like something out of a Rice Crispies box. I like the 1600 lb part, but please, put it on a lotus body.

Right you are my friend, bank 2. It's likely one of my upsteam o2 sensors, a clogged filter, or a mild exhaust leak.

I looked over the car, but the first bolt I lost I put in with the impact wrench, and the one I just lost was part of the rear end, and unfortunately,I don't know all the bolts and nuts in the rear end to check over them all. But I will go over the car and just tighten anything with a hex head when I put this bolt back in. I ordered the replacement bolt from black dragon auto.

Probably too late Chris, but if you post a pic or diagram of the bolt I can probably find one in my bolt box, will be at the joint OSJC/OGTA meeting at Ft. Yargo tomorrow, if that can help deliver.

Thanks Michael, I've always wanted one of those. I'm ready to Baja!

Hey, what's your last name? I need to send you your calendars but I'm afraid if I just send them to "Michael" in South Carolina, they might bypass your address and send them directly to God.

Make sure to tighten anything with a 22mm head (maybe 21). You'll have 8 bolts and nuts for your axle links, 2 bolts and 5 nuts for your Watts. Tim's already gotten bitten by the 17mm head bolts that hold the steering knuckles onto the front spindle - ask him how that turned out. A few big wrenches, a jack, and a paint marker are your friend



So who's coming to Ft. Yargo?

I'll give you a hint. It didn't turn out well. I only blame myself for not going over the car better considering I do abuse that car fairly well. It had been 2 years since I had touched that bolt. It's a good idea to go over every bolt regularly on these cars at this point.

Thanks Crit, reminded me I need to order the replacement tires for that.

Also, need to look harder for a new fender.

You are getting very funny in your old age Chris.

Gotcha down Mr. Taylor, I'll get those right out.

Weather is looking excellent for tomorrow's joint OSJC/OGTA meet at Fort Yargo, should be a great meet, I think I'll wash the car. See you guys there and I'll take lots of pics (to be posted here tomorrow afternoon) for those of you who can't.
