I guess this is where this goes....

Here's my problem. I have an adjustable track bar(looks like a JKS or Currie Enterprises version)and keeps loosening up after each wheeling trip. When I had my front axle regeared, I had them look at it and they said it was fine, just needed to be tightened, so they tightened it down and put locktight on the nut. Yesterday I got a bad case of Death Wobble and the bar is loose again. I noticed it popping a lot on the trail, but I though that was normal. Any suggestions???

Do you have 2 nuts on the heim joints? If not try putting another nut on there to use as a jam nut to keep the main nut from working loose.

It's got a nut on top of the bracket and on the bottom of the track bar.

He is saying wherever there is a nut that is loosening, put a second nut behind it. That will help stop the main bolt from coming loose.
