if you decide to do it make sure you have the correct size tool... so as not to strip it.

i have the torque wrench all ready and will check everything this weekend for ya.

we should head to home depot and do the budget quick disconnect for you.

I think I'm just going to wait on it then.. I'm going to end up stripping the bolt with the crappy tools I have.. At least I know what it is and that nothing is broken

Thanks for all your help guys

BINGO!

I guess it's rattled loose enough to know what it is now... it moves a lot when you wiggle it now

I am going to try to tighten it with the crappy tools I have... how bad is it to drive around with that loose?

great you got it figured out Ang, it should be ok driving it that way till the weekend

What's that klunk?

My ride has a nice clunk when i go over any bump. It sounds like it is on the right side, maybe rear. I am hoping it is the track bar. I jacked up the body and did a quick inspection but nothing was missing. I'll check the nuts on the TB & SB soon. Otherwise I am a happy camper at 3700 miles.
