Yup yup.
I left my Chevy truck loose till it was on the ground.
Forgot to tighten the bottom arms up and drove it to mot station 12 months later.

Wondered why it had vague steering. The inspector said, there's my tool box, I need a piss, and I haven't seen you do anything..... be quick lol

To me the clue is in the name

You need 2 to "lock" together

Odd you had one.... Previous owner didn't like adjusting ????

For the eagle eyed among you will know, thats an earlier RX8 diff cover on an R3 diff with the 4.7 ratio.

Picked up for literally pence years ago, but the later diff cover gets in the way of the exhaust routing .....
