Lower shock mounts 75 911S
Just finished up putting shocks on the back of my 911 and I have a queston -
The bolt that holds the bottom of the shock on worries me. There is no lock washer or any way to insulate this bolt from the horrible vibration it must endure. It seems it will vibrate out. I put in a lock washer between the bolt head and the flat washer, but I am always wary of second guessing the Porsche gods. Anyone ever thought about this? Or, is my 911 missing some hardware? I was thinking maybe thread locker blue on this bolt???? Thanks

Use AntiSeize and torque to 90 ft lbs. They don't come out.

Yep. Antiseize and proper torque should do it. The bolt threads into a steel insert inside the aluminum control arm.

I put mine in, like I found it....no lock washer, just the flat one ! Then I torqued it like a lug nut (appx. 90 lbs.)...no worries !
