Great, my warranty runs out Tuesday. May have to bite the bullet and take it in.

 

I just tourqed mine to 80ft-lb and clunk is gone.
&nbsp\\;
BTW, I heard it was harder than the original and the tourque on it was increased.

 

You do not bend the new washer like the original, you just tourqe 80 ft-lbs

 

Carl,
The ID, OD and thickness of washer number 45727-08 is 1.030"ID, 2.0"OD and 0.62" thick.&nbsp\\; Hope this helps.

Carl,
Let's try this again\\; OD is 2.0" ID is 1.030" and thickness is 0.062".&nbsp\\; Sorry about the last post.&nbsp\\; Hope you read this one before you make the washer.

cool now i know not to bend it up just torque to 80ft lbs!

 

Here's a link to the correct part numbers.&nbsp\\;https://www.hdforums.com/m_2806355/tm.htm\\\\\\; I bought the washer myself and brought it to the local HD dealer and had them install it per service bulletin 1215A.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; (warranty fix)&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I would have done it myself but the job called for a 1.5" socket to tighten the nut.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I couldn't find anything bigger than 1.25 around the house.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
It pays to buy the washer in advance as they probably won't have it in stock and will probably try to fix it by overtightening the nut.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The new washer is a bit thicker and doesn't have a locking tab to bend.

 

I turned the adjuster nut down half a turn, torqued the top nut to 65 LBs and bent the washer.....rides better than when it was new!....and no more clunk!

 

Dealer says mine is not subject to the problem, but I have the clunk, thanks for the info.&nbsp\\; Have to fix it myself now.

 

Thanks Black Bart, will have to whip one out tonight at work and install this weekend. If it doesn't fix it to the shop she goes.
