Or, when the nuts come off the back of the front sway
bar on a type 44, and the tire goes back, into the
fender. It's a fun ride. These are locknuts, reused
who knows how many times. I currently have 4 type
44's, and three of them have bent fenders.
Hmmmmmmm......

BTW, this is my only experience with fasteners ever
coming off. I generally don't worry about them either.
