    I'm pretty sure the problem is polyurethane bushings which were used during restoration. I plan to eventually replace them with rubber bushings, but for now, I'm going to keep a close watch on all of them to make sure they stay nice and snug.
    Put some loctite on the threads then.

        Great idea! I happen to have some on the shelf. By the way, if I am reading the assembly instruction manual correctly, they should be tightened to between 45 and 55 pound foot of torque, right?

            Patrick, I can't answer if you are referring to C3's but they were painted top & bottom as an assembly on C2's. See photo below from 1966.

            Of course I'm referring to C3s. But, since Ron doesn't mention the year of the car in his original post or in the thread tag, we get to guess and answer at will. And no, you can't assume that the car in his avatar is the one he's asking questions about.

                Those bushings are normally a pretty heavy press on the outer ring. I would not expect the bushing to be coming out as in the photo unless the press was not adequate even with the bolt missing. If bushing is urethane, this is a poor choice as stated previously.
