Default Rear camber loose

I installed a rear camber kit for my civic b/c camber wear is a b*tch.

Anyways a month later it seems like the locking nut got loose and camber was back to where it was. What do you guys use to keep the locking nut from coming loose.

Maybe I just need to use a little more muscle power. I will see soon.

Another Question:
I got my car aligned and they give you a computer printout sheet on your toe in/out camber/caster. Well my FRONT camber toe in/out is all good by what the sheet says.

When I had to get my rear tires replaced due to camber wear the shop told me my front tires were f*cked. I looked at them and it was deep as hell (suprised they didnt flatten on me) but the wear was ONLY ON the VERY edge of the tire... not a gradual wear. The wear was only an inch in from the edge. Any answers??????

Thanks in advance;

What did the sheet say (i.e. what numbers for camber, toe, caster)? Was this before the really bad wear or after?

As far as the locking nuts becoming loose, you have two easy options: put some washers with the "teeth" between the adjustment nuts and the control arm surface. Another option is to simply shave off the paint from the surface area where nuts make contact (around the slots).
