Typically,most people just touch off and tighten jam nut. The bolt cannot come loose if you are running a jam nut and it is tightened properly.

You should check your car and make sure the torsion tubes aren't dimpled under the pad. If they are, the dimpled part can rub the torsion bar while it is twisting causing the car to not transfer weight properly. Normally you can tell by shiney/worn spots on the torsion bar in the area of where it sits in relation to the tube. The tubes can be dimpled from normal wear and tear, but generally it is caused when the stop bolt is screwed down with the cars weight on it.

If there is a dent that rubs,you can remove the dent/dimple by either grinding out the spot with a small tool or if it is dented badly, by taking out the bushing and driving an iron ball or similar piece of material through the tube.

Best of Luck,
