You're the first and only person I've ever heard of having a squeeking problem with their Shine rear bar.
You do realize that you put the nuts and bolts in backwards, right? You want the bolt to run from the top of the beam axle down, that way if the nuts somehow fell out, the bolts would hopefully hold the bar in place. I suggest you take the bolts out and reverse them, that way the nuts will be easily accessible and you'll be able to properly torque them. -josh --- Chad Rebuck <[email protected]> wrote: > The shine rear bar I installed many months ago will > squeak a bit over > bumps.
