Filled the Monte's trunk with spare wheels and interior parts (that were sitting in the back of the wagon all summer), and the put a new booster seat in the front of the wagon.
 
Crawled under it to snap some fuel cell pics for Duke, then started investigating. When I left the cruise the other night I hit a bump and heard a clank noise. Whattya know, all 4 lower trailing arm bolts were loose. Well, 3 were snug, but 1 was legit loose. I can't confirm nor deny doing a final torque after weight being on the suspension 😬😬. All good and crisis averted!

Well you are becoming forgetful so now you are going to have to use marking paint every time you torque a fastener.

Always nut and bolt any new build before hitting the road!!

we used that on every torqued bolt or nut on an aircraft so anyone after the fact would know the fastener was torqued....no torque seal and the the fastener would be snagged by an inspector
