The pinion nut on my 97 GT keeps backing off. The previous several time I installed the nut, I did everything correctly: new crush collar, new pinion nut and torqued the pinion nut to get the proper drag on the pinion.
This time, I am not wasting so much time. I am thinking 100 ft*lbs of torque and plenty of loctite on the threads. What do you think? Is 100ft*lbs the highest I dare to go to avoid crushing the collar further? Blue loctite in case I ever need to take it apart?
