Oooh I've had that. Except it did drop off.... and the suspension flew apart and the lower suspension arm dug into the tarmac and I swerved to a
stop quite rapidly.
Top tip!!! Get a tippex pen from a pound shop and (after torquing up the nuts) draw a line down the exposed bolt thread and over the nut. It makes a
quick bolt / nut check very easy- you just make sure the tippex line still ines up. Job done.....

Or maybe worth wire locking your vitals?
I'd put a grin at the end of that but maybe that's taking the 'nuts' euphemism too far!!
