Why did this happen? bolt is intact

Try some loctite on it, hopefully mine dont do that.

wow. I'm impressed. You drive pretty rough?

Take the large socket... i think it's a 13 in metric and just put it back in... i'm not sure what to torque it down to, but i'll find out tomorrow if no one posts it up before me. (i think it's 80 ft/lbs?) If you don't have a torque wrench, tighten it up pretty tight...

yeah, i tightened it to spec once i installed it, but i am shocked that unbolted itself...weird!!!

As much as my engine vibrates, it doesn't surprise me in the least!

(5) With the engine held at the proper position,
tighten both the upper and lower torque strut bolts
to 118 N·m (87 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 102).

Of course, if the other end is tight, it should be in position.

Mine in the SRT did the same thing. Not where it bolts up to the head, but where it bolts up to the frame.

I have had the same thing happen, the loc-tite that comes on it stock is realy only good for one use, put some more on it and tourque it down and it should be good. I don't think people realize the amount the motor moves well being driven normal let alone hard.

I've never had mine vibrate loose like that, or at all now that I think about it. I never used loc-tite or anything, maybe I'm just lucky. Maybe it could have something to do with improper adjustment on the torque strut. I know it vibrates a lot more when the alignment is off.
