I was actually thinking about Loctite. These are replacement arms that I installed a couple of years ago. I'm surprised that the nuts seem to be loose.

If the splines are really gone a junkyard unit is best. I’ve got a couple of v70 units ftom 98 99 00 if they fit, not sure

Managed to catch a parking lot pillar exactly right/wrong, where it hit the lip of the side mirror cover and not the mirror frame, so that the frame didn't even attempt to fold and instead the cover burst into a dozen pieces.

On the bright side I bought an extra planning to use the motor as mine has broken vertically, and the extra is also broken so now it really is best as a shell donor.

Pulled a collar sleeve on the m66. Used a cheap blind hole puller and an old brake rotor since the stand off was digging into the transmission housing. And a lot of heat.

I went to visit a friend in the South. I swapped my blue leather interior for a "fabric - no leather" one, in good condition. I got all plastic trims in good condition too. It needs a good cleaning - wash but it will do the job. I'm very happy about this operation.

As my car stayed 15 years in Saoudia, all trims were out...

Did the mechanic put the rubber boot and stop the other way around?

Does this need to be fixed or can I leave it as is?
