the bolt we slackened off is the one on the shaft,not this one.
this bolt sits into a recess on the shaft on the end of the pas box.
in all the posts I have done regarding bodylift I have mentioned this bolt.
you undo the one on the shaft side of the knuckle,which allows the shaft to move out of the knuckle a couple of mm then when the lift is done you tighten it back up.
obviously this pinch bolt wasn't as tight as it should be and the extra bit of load on the shaft has worked it loose.
just been out and checked mine as I did the same thing when I did my bodylift and both pinch bolts are nice and tight.
