An aircraft landing gear assembly (10) comprising a first member (34) coupled to a second member (38) in parallel by a bolt (44). First and second mechanical fixings (46, 48) are mounted on the bolt and arranged to apply a clamping force to the members. The first member is arranged in use to be loaded (F) and the second member is anchored to react (R) the load. The assembly includes one or more spacers (52), each spacer defining one or more land regions (54, 55) and one or more voids (S). Each spacer is provided between the inner axial face of one of the fixings and the flat outer face of the respective member such that the land regions separate the fixing from the member and the voids are positioned such that angular movement of the fixing due to deflection of the bolt causes the radially outermost point on the fixing sidewall to move into one of the voids.
