Default Pin drive bolts coming loose
So last weekend I decided it was the perfect day to cruise through Napa. Somewhere along the way the pin bolts on my vintage wheels on the rear decided to come loose. I almost lost a rear wheel if it wasn't for an observant follower. I pulled over and jacked the car up and was able to tighten them up and get it home. I know for a fact I had torqued the pins down to 70 ft-lbs. What other options do I have to prevent the pins from coming loose on my adapter bolts and this happening again??

TIA

Mike
