issue with steering linkage
Have a 99 XJ running the poison spider HD steering. Have had it on there for about 7 years now and recently it has been loosening at the adjustment sleeve. I tighten everything back up and then it's fine for awhile then does it again. Had it come apart once and getting frustrated. Any ideas or suggestions? TIA David

If it's threaded, use some loctite. It may be wearing out, but Loctite will keep it in place. If you use red, it will probably stay put, but it will take heat to remove/adjust it.

Did the blue loc-tite and so far so good. Worst case, was thinking of putting the stock sleeve back on. Other options were thinking about going with an aftermarket draglink like currie or rusty's complete system which is the draglink and tie rod. Thoughts?
