12 Bolt and Rattles

I replaced the 10 Bolt over the winter with Moser 12 Bolt. I took the car out for the first time on Thursday and again on Friday. I was surprised by how many rattles there where. Especially over bumps, they appeared to be coming from the rear end. I ensured everything was tight. Any suggestions?

Check, recheck, and check the torque arm bolts again. They are prone to loosening!!!

I should have gone with a strange OR 9" .

you guys need to learn to how to tighten stuff propertly, i never have any problems with mine coming loose on my Moser. But then i use a big pipe on the end of the rachet and planty of red loctite.

Oh, the irony. We need to learn to tighten properly?

If you're rattling when you go over bumps make sure your rear anti-sway bar is not interfering with the cover on your 12-bolt. Look for shiny spots on the cover or the bar.

Funny, I thought lock washers, loctite, and about 90 Ft-lbs would help me beat the documented problem by multiple other Moser owners. I must be using the wrong end of the wrench!
