Lock-tite should be your first move but if that doesn't work then throw a small tack weld on the end of it.


The bigger question is- "why is it coming loose"?

You might try installing a new nylon insert locking nut. It's hard to tell from the picture but the nut looks to be a crimped locking nut.

If you used red loctite and it came loose again,you did something wrong.Without heat this stuff is pretty hard to loosen after it dries. Try nylock nut,crush nut or even safety wire it
