B44.2 slipper nut loosening off

[richie.]

Hi guys just wondering if this is common? It's a brand new car with zero wear and tear. Are you supposed to run some theeadlock along the threads to prevent movement of the slipper nut? The car wouldn't last a race without slackening off

Hmm not sure I'll take it apart and see, can you get replacements if not?

I guess so, its just a black o ring like the ones for the shock bottom cap if i remember correctly?

Cheers for that, just spotted a video showing it inside the nut and would never have known it existed! Will have a butchers tonight. I do have a shock rebuild kit so hopefully they will fit

O ring present but it looks like it has been lubed up with grease? I'm guessing this is the problem?!?
