I have had the car for 9 years and never once thought to tighten the ps box bolts. I am thinking of pulling them back out and adding either lock washers or locktite. Thanks

They should have lockwashers , as far as huge clearance holes , no but the box walking around could make them bigger . I'd pull each one , clean the bolt and the hole with brake wash , blow them out then use red loctite and torque to spec .

I was thinking blue but there is no reason for me to be pull the ps box any time soon. I will pick up some red this weekend. It is hard to tell how long this box has been moving around on me and I don't want it to happen again.

Glad it was a simple fix. When the previous owner had my GTX the box broke completely loose and he could only turn left. If he turned left the box wedged up against the frame if he turned right it walked over to the side of the block instead of movign the tires. The scary part is he drove it like that for abotu 2 months every day.

You should have much trouble getting that size bolt out with red in the future , breaker bar or impact gun .
