UMI on-car adjustable PHB keeps coming loose I installed a UMI on-car adjustable PHB about 2 months ago, and every 2-3 weeks the adjustable portion keeps loosening and creating a clunk around corners and over decent bumps. Is this common and should I not put loc-tite on it? Crawling under the car every 2 weeks to fix this is getting real old, really quick.

The jam nuts have to be TIGHT. Don't be shy.... And there is no reason you can't use Loctite. In fact I'd recommend it, but it's not a substitute for not getting the jamnuts tight enough in the first place.
I know many don't have the correct wrenches and use something close, or channel-lock type pliers, what have you to tighten things up. That's not good enough. Maybe you have the right tools, I don't know, just saying that I've run across that more than once.

yeah, I guess I will have to get some loctite and wrench the be-jesus out of it...I've definitely got the right tools (some I probably don't know the name of)
Thanks guys!

Right tool being wrenches that actually fit the nuts. Nothing special in terms of tools, just ones that fit and offer plenty of leverage.
