Angier: For what it's worth.

The proper way to install the jam nuts is to do just that - they are
tightened securely against the end of the rod-end. Some insurance can be
attained by using Lok-tite (use the removeable type - you may need to
replace a rod-end some day) though I didn't find this to be necessary. Be
sure to torque-mark the nut in an area you can see for inspection purposes.
I took this technique from an old timer in the airplane fixing and
rebuilding game and I have never had a jam-nut loosen.
