What is that for ?
« on: September 28, 2019, 20:58:45 »
I have inspected Under the car and discovered a screw which was loosened around the axle ? I Don't know what is the utility of that screw? It was loosened because of a  crushed thread .
Does someone can explain what is this screw made for and how it can be crushed ?
Is it a screw for an special adjustment ?

Both the 19mm and 17mm head bolt should be fully tight. They are not an adjustment. They secure the rubber mountings and diagonal strut to the differential.
