mitsubishi pajero and shogun owners check your bolts!

[markyd]

thought i heard a rattle when started up this morning, anyway did a bit of nosing around and one of the back bolts that hold the sump guard on has fell out, could be a bit iffy if all of them came loose whilst travelling.

might be worth having a check to make sure! :roll:

[hutchy]

seems to be a common prob this one,i put new lock washers on and they still came undone,so ive used a dab of thread lock and so far so good :wink:

[rangerider]

Already did the same to mine, never ceases to amaze me how the potholes & speed bumps round here can shake almost anything loose.



Cant have bits fallin off, folks may think its a landy!!!!!!

i took mine off to cheak the steering and mine was not tight come to mention it :roll:

Yup this is a commom problem, there is a guest post on another club site that goes into this in some detail.Has anyone tried the nylon bush lock nuts?

The captive nuts seem to wear out after a time, I put a bolt through the captive nut on mine and welded the head, then used nylock nuts and it seems OK now!

Ok smart Ass, nylock nuts, I couldn't think of the name at the time :twisted: but yes,it is a problem and a weekly check should be done. Driving over a sump guard at sixty (assuming a 2.5 can go that fast) aint going to do your truck any good
