    Drag link

    So on the way into work yesterday morning I noticed pretty quick my steering wheel was not straight. Once it got light out I climbed under my truck to check things out and the jam nuts on the drag link had come loose. I hand tightened them and took the truck in for an alignment. Climbed back under the truck tonight and the blue line they put across the jam nuts and the adjusting bar are misaligned. Any thoughts on why they would be loosening up. 2015 2500 2.5" leveling kit

    Any work done recently, such as alignment or such that someone would touch them ? (I also see you installed a leveling kit.)
    I never heard of the nuts coming loose when tighten to specs.

    Interesting! I know when I put my thuren track bar on, I backed out of the shop and realized I forgot I had to adjust the drag link. I had plans I was running late for, and thought ah I'll do it tomorrow. Drove a block and thought ok this is gonna drive me nuts LOL, so around I went back into the shop. I crawled under there and thought, oh boy, how tight are these gonna be? To my suprise as I busted my knuckles open against the axle, they weren't very tight at all. I locked back down with all I had once I had the steering wheel straight. But gonna check them out again now. Also this is not the first I've read from someone who says they worked loose.

    I was thinking of tacking them in place if they come loose again. Also my wheel is slightly off center if I bust the jam nuts loose and straighten wheel will I need an alignment again.
