Default Panhard Rod noise

I installed a non adjustable UMI panhard rod about 4 years ago...worked perfect.

recently it has become SLIGHTLY loose to the point where certain turns/bumps make the rod seem to click or bump around. the bolt is not coming off so it isnt really a safety issue but does anyone know how to correct this ridiculously annoying/embarrassing sound
