I just noticed that one of my click-n-go units moves about 1 to 2 mm side to side on my 2010 outback. The other side does not move at all. I checked the tightness of the Allen bolt, and both seem very tight. In fact, I couldn't loosen or tighten either one. Should I be concerned about this? |

Should be snug. It is possible that loctite keeps the bolt from turning, but the unit is still loose. You have to overcome the loctite bond to tension the screws. |

Thanks, Matt - I'll use a T-Handle wrench to loosen and re-fasten the bolt. What kind of Loctite should I use when I tighten it up? I think Loctite may come in different colors/strengths. |

Blue. Allen wrench needs to be a ball end type do to the indirect alignment of the bolt. |
