Thanks Mike and Larry.
Pretty sure my car is a GT-L with flare kit. It originally came out of Georgia and a well known owner did the work on it.
With the 13" wide rear wheels, I expect that it puts one hell of a load on the standard stubs.
All of the bushing was done on the car recently so the contrl arms should be fine, but this morning I do need to check the upper ball joint to see if the movement is there.
In an early Ferrari, when you do up the ring nut (168ft/lb only) then there are two grooves into which you tap a raised section of the locking ring nut so that it can't come undone.
Is the Pantera a similar system.
