Well i thought that my TRE was bad at the pitman arm, since it was popping a little bit and steering wheel was loose. Well the nut on the arm actually came loose. So i retightened it up tonight. could anything have gotten messed up?

How tight should it be? Use loc tite? I put some good pressure on it with the 1 5/16" wrench.

thanks
 
Locktite wouldn't hurt. With what we do, checking it should be a part of regular maintainance, along with checking the steering box bolts.
 
its suppose to be tightened to 200 ft lbs.
 
I had mine work loose at WF this year, I put red locktite on it b/c it is all I had w/ me on the trail, so now I have to heat it up before I take it of, but it has stayed tight ever since :D
