Abstract:
A fastener assembly includes a first component having a back face and a first mating face opposing the back face, and a second component having a front face and a second mating face opposing the front face. The first component and the second component arranged such that the first mating face is closest to the second mating face. A bushing is installed through the first component, an outer surface of the bushing having frictional engagement with the first component to retain the bushing thereat. A threaded fastener extends through the bushing and the second component, and transmits a load into the bushing. A nut is secured to the fastener at the second component to retain the second component at the first component and which induces the load into the fastener. The frictional engagement between the bushing and the first component is configured to resist the load applied to the fastener.
