Loose nut
Enemies.Closer
Posts: 376 Forumite
The nut that connects my wipers on my car to the wiper motor keeps coming loose.
Has anyone any tips to stop it? If I put a washer in before I tighten it will it stop it?
Thank you

you could use pufty tape
or a blob of paint on the thread that is known to dry
or a spring washer
or a bit of masking tape on the thread
or drill through nut and shaft and thread some locking wire through
or buy a locking nut
or buy a new linkage
or buy a new car
or
well you get the idea:D0
