Front Spring Installation

Post by CatGuy » Sun Jun 30, 2024 11:43 am

I was going to add a license plate bracket to the front the other day and when I looked I saw this. A lock washer, a washer and no cotter key. That’s not right, is it? Do I need to reinstall any washers? Just the bracket, nuts and cotter key?

It won’t let me add a picture….

Install a flat washer for a license plate bracket, but no lock washer when using a castle nut and cotter pin.

Good idea to check all your front end bolts for castle nuts and cotter pins while you are down there.
