Mine slid on me (BMR K member and lower control arm). Alignment shop used red loctite and cured the issue.

it was not an issue of the bolt being loose though.......it was even tight when I had to move it back.

They are sending star washers with the K-members now to grab into the tab....

This is a drag car and it did this when the tires came up then came down again......I'm not taking any chances...I have everything here so I got it all right as far as alignment and I will weld the washers to the tab....If I need to do anything I will just have to grind the weld......But its a sickening feeling having something in question when your going fast.....

I hate to take any chances
