Stupid panhard bar nut won't stay tight...
Stupid panhard bar... I can get under the car and tighten the passenger side nut of my stupid adjustable panhard bar until I literally get light headed I'm pushing so hard, and about 3 days later it backs off and I can hear the stupid panhard bar rattling around. I finally found my threadlock and put copious amounts of threadlock on the nut and tightened it as much as I could again. Is anyone else having this problem? I haven't heard anyone complain about it.
Is it just me? Am I the only one with a stupid panhard bar?

Yes, I did re-torque and use blue locktite. Just wondering if anyone had this issue.

The suggested blue locktight (on the threads before your install the nut) should cure it, as long as you get the nut torqued to the specified torque, if not then you are just p...ing in the wind. This is a friction connection. The correct torque will provide the necessary preload to keep it from coming loose. Tightening until you get lighthead may not be as tight as you think ... use a torque wrench, don't fake it.

I have a BMR adjustable panhard bar and have not had your problem... If the blue loctite and torquing to 129 lb/ft doesn't work, then, I would look for a Nyloc locknut or even better an all steel locknut (the ones that have a slightly elliptical thread), it will never back off.
