Not enough, I guess I might have been leaning more to a question.
But mostly just trail riding / booze cruisen
With mine I just bought spring perches and welded them where they needed to be, but I never had loosening issue before that.

That might have something to do with it.

My question is how much of this is caused by, a bent or warped housing do to welding. I never had an issue till I boarded spring perches, on any 14 bolt. Mine was on driver side tube.

A lot. Especially if it is a shitbox 1st gen housing. Those things are pieces of **** and bend easily.

not sure if I got a bad batch (2 boxes) or what , but just about every one of the Dorman studs I received were bent ,I will probably source a different stud on this mod

hub studs - Dorman 675-109
