I don't know the answer but when you remove the bolts you will probably see pink stuff on the thread of those bolts that have thread lock on.
I've had a guess and gone on what I can recall seeing Anti-roll bar links to anti-roll bar nuts ........ no, self locking nuts Anti-roll bar links to upper arm nut & bolt........ no, self locking nuts Anti-roll bar saddle clamp to subframe bolts ........no Damper top mount to body nuts .... don't know Damper to top mount locknut (no) .... don't know Damper to trailing arm bolt........ yes Hub nut......... no Lower arm to trailing arm nut & bolt........no, self locking nut? Subframe to body bolts (no) ..... no Trailing arm to toe-in adjuster bracket bolt ..... don't know Toe-in adjuster bracket to body bolts (answer probably no ) ..... don't know Upper arm to trailing arm nut & bolt.... no, not if this is the one with a 15mm bolt head and 18mm nut that sits behind the brake plate. macafee2 |

Anti-roll bar links to anti-roll bar nuts - No these are stiffnuts
Anti-roll bar links to upper arm nut & bolt - again stiffnuts Anti-roll bar saddle clamp to subframe bolts - Yes Damper top mount to body nuts - No these are Nyloc Damper to top mount locknut (no) Damper to trailing arm bolt - Yes, these are Patchlok Hub nut - No it's a stakenut Lower arm to trailing arm nut & bolt - No these are stiffnuts Subframe to body bolts (no) Trailing arm to toe-in adjuster bracket bolt - No it's a stiffnut Toe-in adjuster bracket to body bolts (answer probably no ) - Yes these are Patchlok, however I would wait until you have the tracking set, then remove one at a time to apply Upper arm to trailing arm nut & bolt - No again it's a stiffnut |

Thanks Ian & Brian.
I'm a bit confused about the term 'stiffnut' - what the heck is a stiffnut? Also, re the toe-in adjuster bracket to body bolts, the MGR ones (#8 here) are NLA, so the new ones I've got are from Spalding Fasteners as per posts 77-80 here. They're not Patchlok. Think I need a glossary of bolt & nut terminology - I've never heard of half of these names. |

'Stiffnut' - silly name if you ask me. Locking nut, locknut, nyloc - far more sensible. (Not sure if 'nyloc' is a trade name but the other two are generic) |

They're all here: https://www.boltscience.com/pages/glossary.htm Or simply Google any nut or bolt type you haven't come across. TC |

Stiffnuts, as described before, can be found HERE
Not to be confused with Nyloc nuts..... Both of course are prevailing torque nuts, but with differing designs Patchlok bolts look like this.......... With varying grades of threadlocking compound pre applied to the threadform Hope this clarifies things a little Brian |
