Rear shock mounting brackets

[Rockdude]

Has anyone had any problems with the King Shock brackets, think its the mounting bracket. Either way see pic below. Today was the 3rd day this summer I have had to tighten the rears. Usually it has been the right side but today was the left. Love the shocks they are awesome just a pain 4 wheeling and hearing the rattle starting up and going back to tighten them up. Was not sure if anyone else experiences this.

Are you saying the bolts on the mounts that attaches to the frame is coming loose or, the shock bolt as is shown with the socket attached to it? Either way, are you tightening them to torque spec or just hand tight?

Use a dab of lock tight. Its not like you wont be able to bust them loose after allying a little.

It's the shock bolts. The right rear has been re torqued twice after coming loose once. The left rear just hand tightened so far since it loosened up on the trail and no torque wrench but will re torque to spec

Well then, I might also recommend a dab of blue lock tite or changing out the nut to a stover.

Alright I will look into that. Thanks for the help and input.
