After 2k miles my axle nuts were loose and needed tightened but the bolts in the half shaft were still tight. I heard of other axles having this problem but not the ford performance. I guess we can add them to the list. I was under my car looking for a slight creek/pop noise and found this. All of the bolts were loose but only this one was backed out this much. They have only been in for about 10k miles. I had to cut down a Allen key wrench to get on them.

we always recommend locktite and verifying torque on all of them when installing. you shouldn't have to worry about it, but an ounce of prevention

Thanks mods for moving to a section where nobody looks. This mod/issue is a mod/bolt on

The directions actually say to keep an eye on them from time to time.
