Looks like you are losing your nuts. Lots of torqueing about that.

A lucky ride for sure.

The shock didn't move because the lagguage support. I don't know how Many kms I rode without nut. Anyway, I am still riding the bike, but after that, I spent Many hours checking the importants part s of the bike for my security.

Now is a perfect time to replace the threaded stud after that unknown period of time with the added stress of the shockie end floating about. They break.

Pardon my lack of pun.
