Hey everyone,
Well I went riding friday night and now its sunday. I decided to wash my quad. So i washed it and was drying it when i came to drying off the axle. I had duct tape on my axle loc-nut cuz i don't have the $$ yet for an aftermarket, and it still popped loose, FINGER LOOSE!!! WTF?!?!? What should i do? just throw some loc-tite on? and same thing with my hubs, they always seem a little loose...wtf?!

EDIT- my case saver also somehow rattled out...
EDIT2- and also a bolt on my beadlock rattled out....

What it does is make sure that your axle doesn't come loose
