I was under my car doing some work, and I happened to spin both front wheels. Well, I found that the bolts holding my AAJ bracket were loose, and would partially rotate when I spun the wheel! Don't know if I forgot to tighten them, or they worked loose, but if you have a kit, check it the next time you have the front off the ground.

I am a true believer in GREEN Loctite stud and bearing mount.
Used it on my AAJ kit. My bet is that to remove it, will have to warm it with a torch.

"to remove it, will have to warm it with a torch"

Sounds like removing brake drums from stubborn 57-64 tapered axle shaft rearends
Loctite Green, I second that motion!

I remember stripping some AAJ bolts. . . Found out I needed to walk the bracket into place, tightening each one in a rotataion. I didn't have that problem with the new brackest though. My daily driver is fine though, but alas, I FINALLY sold it. Of coarse, I used a 3/8 impact gun on them. Maybe that was taboo

i spun the threads out of two of the bracket nuts-pass. side------it wasn't ROGERS product just too much tightening------my fault all the way------HELPFUL HINT------if you don't have LOCTITE you can use a dab of paint-just about any will do--------------later
