D60 steering block install?

[Ned Kelly]

Can anyone tell me what the correct procedure is for installing the four D60 steering arm knuckle studs? I put a 4" steering block in (until I can get crossover) but the studs have loosened up on me a couple of times. Thanks.

A bit of loc-tite on the threads might help. Loose studs on the steering block sucks. I had three of them shear exiting Lower Helldorado at BB03. Ended up having to leave my truck in the wash overnight...

We ended up using long fine thread 1/2" bolts and lug nuts with the right seat taper. It was meant to be a temp fix, but I drove it like that for over a year.

I ended up using lug nuts also. I'll have to check if they are the right taper. Theyl seemed ok but I should double check. I had to use a nut-splitter to get the old ones off the studs. Thanks
