So I am running a JDM 23mm on my EK civic....

and using the correct endlinks...

none the less I have been noticing that these can really loose even after tightening them as much as possible..


so does anyone have anytips to keep the nut really secure?

One idea I had was wraping the endlink threads with plumbers tape...

 

They should have supplied nylock nuts. These are designed for fairly light torques specs while also remining in place - you shouldn't have to go thru this.

So, Red Locktite or - my preference, buy new nylock nuts that fit the application. Locktite will work, but removing the nuts won't be fun.

Nylon locking nuts it is...

it was also a security mesaure from loosing the nut on the track..

would adding a washer be a good idea as well?

thanks for your help / I also posted this in the Road Racing / Autocross forum

 

i would say just stick with the nylon locking nut for now, but if that fails, one of those springy washers and some thread locker and that nut will stay on.
