yeah, I hear ya.  was wondering how long till they loosen myself.  Had this
problem with an old mustang, I just had the nut tack welded in place.  Maybe
I could double-nut the bushing shaft to hold it.  Guess I'll just wait and
see.  It needs tires and alignment anyway, gotta get it moving first.  My
adapter plate from Esslinger should be here Monday, can't wait.
Thanks, PSD.
