    For some reason i keep blowing the screws out of the rear shock tower... I've even changed screw holes (in case i stripped one out). I'm using aluminium adjustable shocks with medium stiff springs & 50 wgt shock oil...

    Anyone have any suggestions what i can do to prevent this in the future???

    Using CA (tire glue) works when you are working metal to plastic... it would seem that you would permanantly be gluing them with the strength of the glue but it works fine... you could also use regular thread lock but it doesnt work well for plastic to metal...
