[DML] Re: Charging Problems

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I'm with Dave - it is probably a ground and probably the one at the 
frame that is attached to the trailing arm bracket. It starts to 
roll and movement sets in at the bolt. Some times those bolts will 
corrode and you will not be able to tighten or loosen it (i.e. you 
just think it is tight). Twist or cut it off and start over. In any 
event a new bolt is a good idea.
