Don't just tighten it up, remove the bolt to see if the hole in the axle mounting bracket is wallered out or oval. If so, you'll need to weld a washer or the new TB might pop as well.

Yeah, I will check that out when I remove it to install the new one. If necessary that will be addressed. Thanks for the advice.
