I think there may have been some different versions of the tubes that came out of the factory. Mine seems just fine, but I have seen reports of other people having problems. I would put some red loctite on it, and torque to 45ft/lbs. Mark the nut and swing arm with a paint pen so you can see if it moves at all. Keep an eye on it for awhile just to make sure it doesn't loosen on ya.
