Might I make a contribution the this week's dreadful fastening competition? In this case it is an Austin rad script, which investigation revealed to have been fastened onto the radiator by nails! I am far too polite to mention who did it, but a certain cherished supplier might recall posting the script on 24th July last year. The customer certainly did not buy a steering arm from the same source. I doubt if the person will be upset by any mention on this forum, as they certainly don't read it. Otherwise they might have posted a question "Do the nuts holding the ends of the radius arms to the front axle need to be more than finger tight?" On discovery I did not feel the need to do anything other than immediately get the relevant spanner and tighten them up considerably, giving a much more intimate relationship between radius arms and front axle.
