UCA spindle nut backing out
I just installed a set of billet uniball UCAs. I know creaking and squeaking is extremely common with uniballs and mine started after about 1000mi after a trip. It doesn't bother me that much, but I noticed the lock nut (doesn't use a castle nut and cotter pin anymore) that holds the UCA to the spindle has been slightly loosening - I've had to retighten it on both sides. It's made me a little skeptical to drive the car because I'm afraid it's going to back out all the way mid-drive. They're pretty much brand new so I can't see how they'd be binding up already - i'm going to hit everything with some tri flow, but I'm confused at to what could be causing this or how to fix it.
